\maketitle
The \maketitle
command generates a title on a separate title
page—except in the article
class, where the title is placed
at the top of the first page. Information used to produce the title
is obtained from the following declarations:
\author{
name \and
name2}
\author
command declares the document author(s), where the
argument is a list of authors separated by \and
commands. Use
\\
to separate lines within a single author's entry—for
example, to give the author's institution or address.
\date{
text}
\date
command declares text to be the document's
date. With no \date
command, the current date (see \today)
is used.
\thanks{

\thanks
command produces a \footnote
to the title,
usually used for credit acknowledgements.
\title{

\title
command declares text to be the title of the
document. Use \\
