It makes me laugh thinking that these notes were probably written in LaTex and then exported. The formatting for this overview is pretty great though. PDF with a TOC makes a very nice means of navigation.

It may have been done in org-mode and then exported to LaTeX. That's how I'd do it, anyway.

  (David/author here): I haven't actually seen org-mode before. I'll take a look! I wrote these in sharelatex using a template and commands file I put together that help write notes quickly in latex (they're available here if anyone is interested: https://github.com/david-abel/latex_docs https://github.com/david-abel/latex_docs).

    Gary Schwartz[0] and Howard Abrams[1][2] both have nice explainers about org-mode which explain the advantages and how to get started. There's also a nice discussion on the Emacs Reddit page[3] about "Why Org-Mode?"

Is "exported" the correct term to use here? I would say the notes were written in LaTeX, and then compiled (in the software compiler sense) to a PDF.

  You are likely correct, exported is the wrong word, and my mind was within my personal org-mode workflow.

I was guessing org-mode -> LaTeX -> PDF. org-mode is much better for taking notes.
