Learn You Some Algebras for Glorious Good!

This is a math book, licensed under the GNU FDL. It is written in English. There is an unofficial Russian translation

Building

If you want a pre-build PDF, see the pdfs repository.

To build a PDF from source, you'll need to have TeX installed, along with a number of packages. A list can be found in the docs/contributing.md file. I'm sure you can build the project on Windows, I just don't know how (most of us use Linux).

git clone https://gitlab.com/lysa/lysa.git
cd lysa
./lysabuild LANG

Where LANG is one of the supported languages. Run lysabuild help for a list.

If you don't use git, you can get a tarball from https://gitlab.com/lysa/lysa/repository/archive.tar.gz. If you don't know what a tarball is, you can get a Zip archive from https://gitlab.com/lysa/lysa/repository/archive.zip.

If you have a slow computer, it might take about 30 seconds or so to build. On a fast computer, it will take less than a second.

Community stuff

If you like chatting on IRC, come see us in #lysa on FreeNode. If you don't know what IRC is, or you don't have a client set up, you can connect through FreeNode's webchat.

If you notice any errors, don't be shy to report them in the issue tracker. If you have any suggestions for improving LYSA, also post them in the issue tracker (or bring them up in the IRC channel).

If you have any questions about LYSA (or math), feel free to ask in the channel, or in the issue tracker.

Hosting
