Unnecessary duplication of algebraPreCalc #34

Closed aneziac closed 3 years ago

aneziac commented 3 years ago

I've noticed that both diffEq and calc have the same algebraPreCalc directory with minor structural differences. It would probably be better to host the directory in one or the other. However, as more subjects are added to the repo, the overlap problem will only get worse. It might be a good idea to create a shared folder for common math concepts.

This was something I was thinking about earlier myself. I'd like to separate out the background and review chapters as much as possible. Ideally, all background and review material could be in a shared folder, maybe along with contributors.tex, and each work could have a single tex file that includes just the sections of background and review it needs.

For example, all of the works would include a review of algebra and precalculus, but only diffEq and multiCalc would include a review of single-variable calculus.

If you'd like to take a shot at it, please do. Otherwise, I'll probably try to do it, likely creating a separate branch.

Ok. I'll do my best at tackling this.
