Adding Committe members into Thesis

Post by nalkapo »

Hi Guys,
I need a real help. I am writing first page of my thesis which involves title, my name, department, date etc. I want to add 3 committee members at the bottom of the page but I couldn't. And also I want to draw a horizontal line throughout the page. This line will be under date and above committee members. Please help...
Thanks in advance...

That is my first page:


\begin{titlepage}
\title{Stone-Weierstrass Approximation Theorem} \Large
\author{By\\ \\Nalkapo\\ \\
A Thesis\\
Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School\\
Arkansas State University\\
\\
\\
In Partial Fulfillment\\
of the Requirements for the Degree\\
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN MATHEMATICS}


\date{\today \\
Jonesboro, Arkansas}



\end{titlepage}

Please be so kind that you follow the rules (esp. section 2) when yo uask for help. It makes the request usually much more comprehensible for others. :)

Right now it could be helpful to take a look at titlepages. Even if you don't, you do not have to use LaTeX's own commands like \date and so on. I'm assuming you used these commands because you didn't think of commands like \vspace and \vfill by yourself? If you are a beginner, maybe take an in-depth look into the first chapter (these 17 pages are really useful) of the file lshort.pdf.

Montag I looked at title pages but they are really complicated. I copied and pasted them but it didn't work. I just wonder that below '\date command' how can I insert horizontal line and committee members or any statement. Do I have to use any extra package? more clearly, can I insert any command after \date command, such as \tabular ?

You might also be interested in the titling package.

However, no one is going to be able to help you in any concrete way unless you provide a minimal working example. (This is suggested by the Board Rules, which Montag directed you to.) Please also see the Post on Avoidable Mistakes.
