    Edit: My husband had to explain to me that "DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY" is what you write on all doctoral dissertations, regardless. This is what I get for not ever pursuing a degree. You may commence with the public shaming now. I stumbled upon this on the internet while looking for information on LL(k) parsing GENERAL CONTEXT-FREE RECOGNITION AND PARSING BASED ON VIABLE PREFIXES By D. CLAY WILSON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA Philosophers are doing this stuff? Really? This is some heavy math and logic. Now, I can see it from the perspective of demonstrating a grasp of the principles of logic, but this seems like overkill, especially given the math involved! This is something I expect of a Doctor of Computer Science, not a Philosophy PhD.

          "PhD" stands for Doctor of Philosophy and is a generic term used in many disciplines, including Computer Science, for doctoral degrees. Some universities used ScD (Doctor of Science) instead.

          I meant to put PhD after philosophy, not computer science. it's early here and I haven't had enough coffee. I'm fixing that. (Edited since) Edit: Wait. I think I misunderstood you. Are you saying this dissertation was probably for a Comp Sci doctorate?

              Wait a minute, are you saying this dissertation is probably for a CS degree?

                      There are no philosophers in Florida. The alligators ate most of them, and the rest realized that FL is not the place to live if you are practicing philosophy.

                          You receive a Doctorate of Philosophy when presenting new work proving that you can extend science. It is not considered science though when you submit it. It becomes science when it is peer-reviewed and has gone through the other procedures that get it accepted into what is considered the body of science. Until then, your work is considered philosophy.

                            Just remember when dealing with thesis papers: BS => Bull S. MS => More of the Same PhD => Piled Higher and Deeper :)
