Example Papers

The following papers are representative of RSI from 1995 to 2014

You should use these examples to get a feel for how to structure your paper, as well as how to efficiently and effectively use tables and graphics. Note: from 1995 to 1998, students used LaTeX and not LaTeX 2e (Now the default). Thus, a few items, especially at the beginning of the paper, are different.

From this web site, you can view pdf files of each paper. The LaTeX source is located in the /mit/rsi locker on Athena; a directory is provided with each paper.
