Unimportant Notes

Aside from the lecture notes, there are some extra notes that might prove beneficial to the chosen few.

Typst Template.

I have been using Typst for quite some time. For my convenience, I have personalized typst report and Presentation templates. Both of them are quite subject to change. The Presentation template is quite new, and very much unpolished.

REPORT

In order to run the template, one needs to go to where main.typ is located and type typst watch --root .. main.typ.

  2. Report Template typ files
  3. Report Template blank pdf

LaTeX Workshop Handout.

Some of my friends and I conducted a small workshop for our Coding and Designing Club, Slashdot on using LaTeX for academic purposes. We circulated a Handout, which is here.

  1. Handout
Maths Club Student Talk.

I delivered a student talk for our maths club,aka The Identity Club on when stochastic systems attain equilibrium. I also wrote a blog post on this topic here.
