Dissertation Library

Lockett Hall

This page lists PhD graduates of our department since 1990, with dissertation title. Links are provided to Math reviews if a paper based on the dissertation research has appeared in print. Some dissertations are linked below to pdf files of summaries or full documents.

Beginning in Fall 2001, LSU is a full participant in the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations ndltd, a global library of such documents, so we have provided links to that library for the most recent dissertations.
