Advisory Committee for Mathew Zaleski

Welcome. There is a mail alias on DCS systems for the committee: matzadvisory@cs.toronto.edu

Jan 11 Revisions done after SGS defence?

With change bars relative to the senate/sgs defence: matzDissertation-revisions-after-sgs-chbar.pdf

(This version is missing one cite, on page 35 because it caused all the cites to renumber and messed up the changebars too much.)

The final, revised dissertation. For Angela to read and perhaps to be submitted. matzDissertation.pdf

9:30 am Monday Dec 10, room 303 , 63 St George, SGS defence

Although the above should be legible in black and white, some of the graphs may be easier to interpret when seen in colour. Only the leaves including the colour graphs are in matzDissertation-colour.pdf. (It's probably most cost effective to print matzDissertation.pdf on a regular laser printer and then print matzDissertation-colour.pdf on a colour device and merge the two printouts by hand.)

As HTML: mz-dissertation/matzDissertation-latex2html.html

The dissertation, with change bars relative to the departmental:
matzDissertation-revisions-after-dept-chbar.pdf
(presumably this will be easier going for committee members who read the version discussed at the departmental exam)

The following table lists the page numbers in matzDissertation-revisions-after-dept-chbar.pdf that have changed relative to the version discussed at the departmental exam.

(Several very small changes have been omitted, for instance our usage of Pentium IV and Pentium 4 was made consistent.)

The page numbers that appear in the table below are the numbers printed on each page header or footer. (Rather than the pages as counted by a PDF viewer. There are 16 pages of forward matter.)
