Organization

For clear organization, this project contains a few directories:

chapN/

These folders contain the contents of a particular chapter.

resources/

This folder contains the LaTeX2e style for the paper, as well as the bibtex file.

sections/

Individual sections of the paper should be given a decscriptive name and placed in this directory. Following this pattern helps to avoid the "which tex file should I build" problem.
