I'm looking at doing that for calculus made easy by sylvanus Thompson but I need to overcome my lazyness first
- robin_reala 2y agoYou can use Standard Ebooks tooling to create a white-label ebook skeleton if that would help you get started.
- gjm11 2y agoSomeone else has done something similar for that work: https://www.sunclipse.org/?p=3194 https://www.sunclipse.org/?p=3194 -- you might find either that what he's done is good enough to satisfy you, or that you can build on what he did.
- poulpy123 2y agoThat's a great news, thanks !
- jarvist 2y agoThat's great! Their motivation & updates seem very sensible. Calculus Made Easy is a very nice compact book for university students who have started to forgot their high school training, and I will certainly point people in the direction of this project.
- hedora 2y agoIf you want the opposite of that: University students that come into college with strong calculus fundamentals, then I suggest "Calculus" by Michael Spivak. I haven't used calculus in a decade, but I use things I learned from working through that book pretty much every day I write code.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 2y agoOuch. Can't think of a more challenging one to work on. I can do most things epub now, but mathml is very much in the "no thanks now go away" category.
