Project: write a book #14

Open samclifford opened 6 years ago

samclifford commented 6 years ago

What are the things we want to teach STEM students? Perhaps this is a primer for the key ideas, perhaps it's a list of techniques we expect final year students to know, or first year students. There's a bit of linear algebra, calculus, probability theory, statistical analysis, etc. and none of it is really escapable.

I'd like to get together and write a short text book, perhaps as a living document, with some theory and examples. Either in bookdown or using LaTeX.

I think this could be subsumed by #1 and while I'm still keen for input from others I can probably manage this outside the retreat.

This is now a github repo at samclifford/acemsbook. Give me a shout if you want in.
