Thurston Technical Report, Princeton University, 1986. </p> <p>Is there a scanned version somewhere or might some library stock it?</p> </blockquote> <p>Can anyone help out?</p> <p>For context: I gave a series of presentations in a EECS course with Dave Dobkin, and I wrote these notes to go with it. It was fun material at the time, but the notes were only moderately distributed.</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/39578/missing-document-request/39748#39748 Answer by Bill Thurston for Missing document request Bill Thurston 2010-09-23T13:40:34Z 2010-09-23T13:40:34Z <p>Joseph O'Rourke did what I should have thought to do myself: he wrote to David Dobkin, who still had a copy of a version of these notes in his email. I haven't yet gone over them to make them compile with a current tex environment, but <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5390048/notes.tex" rel="nofollow">here</a> is a copy as-is. When I have a chance to fix it, I'll substitute a better version and I'll consider whether to put it in a more visible spot.</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/39578/missing-document-request/39758#39758 Answer by Joseph O'Rourke for Missing document request Joseph O'Rourke 2010-09-23T14:58:28Z 2010-09-23T14:58:28Z <p>Here is the <code>.tex</code> not quite "as-is," but modified minimally so that it will compile: <a href="http://cs.smith.edu/~orourke/MathOverflow/DTnotes.tex" rel="nofollow"><code>DTnotes.tex</code></a>. And here is <code>.pdf</code> produced by compiling that <code>.tex</code>: &nbsp;<a href="http://cs.smith.edu/~orourke/MathOverflow/DTnotes.pdf" rel="nofollow"><code>DTnotes.pdf</code></a>.</p>
