I like thinking about making quantum computing a reality for everyone, education/pedagogy, and privacy.

rudin's Issues

make compilation of sections and chapters work

I set up the basics with the subfiles package, but there are quite a few things that are not working at the moment. Would be good to get this working, especially as the project grows.

use jenkins to build pdf and host online

would be cool that way people don't have to compile the document themselves to see what it looks like.

What should our review process look like?

As of now, it is @epsilon-less-than-0 and I working on this we haven't been using anything of a review process besides kind of just looking over things (if that). This isn't how it really should be done, and is especially not good if anyone else wants to contribute because they won't have committing access to the master branch.

I propose that we have a branch for each section of the book. Once we have finished a section, we put together a pull request and assign it to the either myself or @epsilon-less-than-0. The reviewer will be responsible for reading over the content and making sure it is clear and pedagogical, among other things (like being error free, but the PR author should have already done this). This may not be the most ideal solution, but it is better than both of us committing to master and not having a good review process.

We could also have branches for each chapter, then have larger pull requests, but I kind of like the idea of having smaller pull requests. Easier to review and takes much less time.

@epsilon-less-than-0 what are you're thoughts?

Lots of latexmk generated files

Once the project has been fully set up with the subfiles package, we will be able to use latexmk to compile chapters and sections independently. This will generate lots of files that we don't care about (at least not for github). They will be ignored by the gitignore file, but it would just be nice to have a script to clean up all these files at once. I think this could be done relatively easily with a makefile, but I'm not all that familiar with make.

lots of biblatex errors

am really stuck with the biblatex errors. cant seem to get rid of them and im not into the whole "oh well the document looks good so dont worry about it attitude". would be good to quiet biblatex down properly.

Change license to GPL

I'd suggest we should change the current license of the project to GPL. WTFPL (the one we currently have) is great, but it does kind of mean that someone could take the project, and go to some publishing company, get them to publish it without our consent and make a bunch of money off of it.

GPL would require any derivative work to also have a GPL license which is cool.

Do you have any thoughts on this @epsilon-less-than-0?

bib doesnt work when compiling sections/chapters

you can compile a section/chapter alone without compiling the whole project, but it gives errors because it can't find the bib. it's probably because https://github.com/natestemen/rudin/blob/master/sty/packages.tex#L39 doesn't make sense when you're all the way in one of the chapters.

PDF

Hi there!

First off, thanks so much for taking the time and effort in making this.

I don't have all the LaTex dependencies installed on my laptop. I tried compiling this on overleaf and ran into a couple of errors. I would really appreciate if you could maintain an updated pdf of the notes along with the LaTex source code. It would really helpful. Thanks!

Compiling with latexmk gives "biber" error
