Typeset High School Math Booklets
In an attempt to continue producing increasingly sophisticated \(\TeX\) I produced some Mathematics booklets for Year 7's and 8's that mimicked the Cambridge ICE-EM NSW Mathematics series.
In essence, I was fleshing out entire textbooks into interactive booklets with space to write. As a result I learned to effectively produce figures and leverage the exam class.
I also learned how to produce far larger documents, with some booklets nearing 50 pages in length to satisfy 3 hours of tuition.
The source code is the most sophisticated typesetting I have produced. From double-sided marginpar notes, to assembling the booklets themselves with the Factory design pattern.
Because the source code basically forms a repository for this project, you may visit the static site structure here.

From the moment I laid eyes on a \(\TeX\) typeset document, I fell in love with its style and figure. However, I thought it too difficult to learn, and instead spent my time in markdown.
Eventually whilst mastering that rather limited syntax, I found myself turning to YAML headers and \(\LaTeX\) snippets to get my work done with sufficient quality.
At some tipping point, the \(\TeX\) began to intrigue me and I began sloppily typesetting my University Mathematics assignments in \(\TeX\) and later carved out time in my Summer Holidays to work through the necessary tutorials.
