Thesis

======

My 2011 UC Berkeley PhD thesis on Type Ia supernova rates.

Thesis class

------------

This thesis is based on the widely available 'ucthesis' class.  It is

even in some package management systems. Here I'm using a version

updated by Kevin Young in March 2010 to follow the UC thesis

requirements as of November 2009. It is available here:

http://www.cchem.berkeley.edu/kbwgrp/index.php/People/KevinYoung

I've redistributed it here, with the following modifications made to 

`ucthesis.cls`:

* Remove the numbering from the reference list.

* Define `\abovecaptionskip` and `\belowcaptionskip`, necessary for the

  sidecap package.

* Define a `footnotesizetabular` environment for footnotesize tables.

* Redefine chapter heading font.

Bibliography

------------

For the bibliography, I use the Astrophysical Journal BibTeX style, 

included in `apj/apj.bst`. This style file uses abbrviations not defined in 

the file `apj.bst`. I've included the abbreviations in a stand-alone package

apjabbrev, included in `apj/apjabbrev.sty`. 

Configuring LaTeX

-----------------

To get LaTeX to look in these subdirectories (first) for the class

files, be sure to include `.//` in your `TEXINPUTS` and `BSTINPUTS`

environment variables. The `//` tells LaTeX to look in

subdirectories. For example, if your shell is BASH, include these

lines in your `.bashrc` file:

```

export TEXINPUTS=.//:$TEXINPUTS

export BSTINPUTS=.//:$BSTINPUTS

```

Additional packages

-------------------

Additionally, the following standard LaTeX packages are required:

* amssymb

* color

* graphicx

* natbib

* times

* hyperref

* fancyhdr

* ccaption
