Pistol Range for Execution.  Dachau Concentration Camp, just outside Munich, Germany

Book as Thesis

by Philip Greenspun

Arbeit Macht Frei.  Gate to Dachau Concentration Camp, just outside Munich, Germany My PhD thesis from the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, February 1999, consists of the following: The result was a thesis titled "Architecture and Implementation of Online Communities", supervised by Patrick Winston, Tom Knight, and Gill Pratt.

During January 1999 when the thesis was due, I was engaged in a frenzied effort to finish a book on SQL and a set of problem sets for a brand-new MIT course: 6.171. Consequently, I would not have graduated had not Rebecca Frankel prepared the final work and navigated the MIT bureaucracy on my behalf. To her, I will always be grateful.
