Write your introductory chapter here. For example, your literature
overview could go here. Sometimes You will want a section to go within your chapter.

\section{Section 1}

Section 1 goes here.

Here is an example of a table.  These are the UD holidays for AY 2017-2018.

\begin{table}
    \begin{center}
        \caption{University of Dayton Holidays for Academic Year 2017-2018}
        \label{tab:class}
        \begin{tabular}{||l|c|c|r||}
            \hline
            Holdiay & Month & Day & Year\\
            \hline
            \hline
            Labor Day & September & 4 & 2017 \\

        \end{tabular}
     \end{center}
     \alt{This is a table of University Holidays}
\end{table}

We can reference the University holidays in Table \ref{tab:class}.

Here is a second table showing the UD Men's 2018-2019 basketball schedule

\section{Section 2}

\begin{table}
    \begin{center}
        \caption{University of Dayton Men's Basketball Schedule 2018-2019}
        \label{tab:bball}
        \begin{tabular}{||l|c||}
            \hline
            Date & Opponent \\
            \hline \hline

            November 10 & Coppin State \\

            November 22 & Virginia \\
            \hline
            November 23 & Oklahoma \\

            December 4 & Detroit Mercy \\

            January 9 & George Washington \\

            January 13 & Massachusetts \\
            \hline
            January 16 & VCU \\
            \hline
            January 19 & St. Bonaventure \\

            January 29 & Saint Joseph's \\

            February 9 & Rhode Island \\
            \hline
            February 16 & VCU \\
            \hline
            February 19 & Davidson \\

            March 6 & La Salle \\
            \hline
            March 9 & Douquesne \\
            \hline
            \multicolumn{2}{} \\
        \end{tabular}
     \end{center}
     \alt{This is the 2017-2018 UD Men's Basketball schedule}
\end{table}

Again, we can reference basketball schedule as Table \ref{tab:bball}.

Section 2 goes here.

An example of an equation is 
\begin{equation}
    x[n] = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}
        \infty, & {\tt t=0} \\
        0, & {\tt else}
    \end{array}\right..
    \label{eqn:delta}
\end{equation}

Now, we can reference this equation as Equation \ref{eqn:delta}.

Here is an example of a citation.  In \cite{JMRK2002}, the authors discuss adaptive control using on-line
function approximation.

\chapter{EXTREMELY LONG CHAPTER TITLE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT GOES ACROSS MULTIPLE LINES.}
\label{ch2}

Write your second chapter here -- for example, a problem
statement. Notice that you can refer to other chapters like this: in
Chapter \ref{ch1} the reader will find a literature overview.

Again, we might want to break this chapter up into sections.

\section{Section 1}

Section 1 goes here.

\section{Section 2}

Section 2 goes here.

An example of a figure is here:

Once I have a picture, then I use a software program called GIMP (GNU image manipulator program) to convert my picture into a .eps file (embedded post script).  The rest is easy...
\begin{figure}[ht]
    \centerline{\epsfysize 7cm  \epsffile{Drew_Eric.eps}}
    \caption{Dr. Murray throwing Eric off of the
		Great Wall of China.}
    \alt{Detailed description of Dr. Murray throwing
        Eric off the Great Wall of China.}
    \label{fig:Drew_Eric}
\end{figure}
We can reference this figure as Figure \ref{fig:Drew_Eric}.

For a second figure, let's use the UD logo.
\begin{figure}[ht]
    \centerline{\epsfysize 7cm  \epsffile{UDlogo.eps}}
    \caption{University of Dayton Logo}
    \alt{Detailed description of University of Dayton Logo}
    \label{fig:UD_logo}
\end{figure}
Again, we can reference this figure as Figure \ref{fig:UD_logo}.

%% ``heck, why not?'' mean OSU Grad School's ``Ugly Brown Book''
%% doesn't care as far as we know, so let's allow the user some
%% creativity. If a default option is the only alternative, specifying
%% it will make no difference.

%\RequirePackage{newdissert}

%% MM. 1994/07/26.
% Requiring/using newdissert as a package causes some problems because
% the following latex209 variables
%       \footheight, \@maxsep, \@dblmaxsep
% are not available in LaTeX2e. (I carefully read classes.dtx and
% clsguide.tex, and concluded that those 3 variables won't matter.)
% Also, it is a mistake to redefine \newcounter for
%       part, chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection, paragraph
%       figure, table


\RequirePackage{uddissert2023-mods}

%% MM. 1994/07/26.
% Blindly including all the newdissert style files into newdissert-mod,
% and commenting the above definitions makes it work almost as good
% as 2e in 209 compatible mode with the newdissert style.

%% MM. 1994/07/31.
% Fixed newdissert-mod. Result is exactly the same as what newdissert.sty
% produces using latex209, and that is the document that meets grad
% school rules. Fixing newdissert-mod, however, caused it to be
% unusable from 209. Ultimately, osudissert.cls should become a single
% file to be used with 2e, unless others have other ideas .....
% \documentclass[12pt,letterpage,titlepage]{report} followed by
% \usepackage{newdissert-mod} does the same thing as
% \documentclass{osudissert} which I prefer.

%% MM. 1994/08/09
% Many changes to newdissert-mod. Result is exactly the same as what
% newdissert.sty produced. Most commands are now ``renew''ed versions
% of report.cls commands.

%% MM. 1994/08/12.
% Added compatibility check to newdissert-mod so that, in compat mode,
% \documentstyle[12pt,newdissert-mod]{report} works well enough.

%% MM. 1994/08/13.
% Added all these cool initializations for degree options. Since I can't
% force exactly one option to be passed, I make phd option most important

%% MM. 1994/08/17. Cleaned up newdissert-mod. Used (re)newenvironment
%% whenever possible. Used chapter* wherever appropriate. Did leave
%% a few defs in there, esp. Al's stuff and a few variables. Oh yes,
%% fixed a few bugs that came in because I redid all the definitions.

%% MM. 1994/08/22. Changed some stuff in ms abstract.
%% Also added osudraft option.

%% MM. 1994/08/23. Changed float/text spacing yet again.

%% MM. 1995/02/11. Made Index single-space.

%% MM. 1995/02/18. Added co-advisor support to newdissert-mod.

%% MM. 1995/02/23. Fixed osudraft.

%% MM. 1995/03/08. Changed quotations to single-space. Fixed widows in toc.
