Fix typos in Part I and Part II notes #17

Thank you very much for these fixes. Out of interest, how did you find these errors - was it manual, or using a tool? I'd like to see if it's possible to automate these kinds of checks.

Hi @zeramorphic ,

You're welcome. I'm more than pleased to contribute to a resource that I find valuable.

To answer your question, here is my "workflow":

  1. I found the repository quite useful and decided that contributing would be a good way to give a bit back.
  2. Textual revision, editing ad code testing are activities I particularly enjoy, especially when I am traveling or boringly awaiting.
  3. While consulting the parts of the content most relevant to me, I took the opportunity to manually correct typos (via smartphone in too many cases haha).
  4. My contribution is obviously contingent on my available time. Typically, if I manually identify more than 5/6 errors—be they in text syntax, text semantics, code syntax, or code semantics—I opt to contribute by:
    • running a global "find and replace" for all mistakes I've manually found locally;
    • using the default spell-checker (e.g. Overleaf) to complete the job.

Hope it's helpful.
