In a former life Allen Fogelsanger completed a dissertation in mathematics for which Cornell University awarded him a Ph.D. in 1988. It is made available here as penance for having never published it.

For slow internet connections the dissertation has been divided into pdf documents as follows:

The pages were scanned at 600 dpi and converted into pdf using ABBYY FineReader 6.0 Sprint. They are imperfectly searchable for words without symbols.
