Talk:Introduction to Biological Systems and Soft Condensed Matter

Hi,

I take notes by computer (using a tablet with Lyx for the text and equations and Xournal for diagrams) in all my classes. This results in nice PDF files rendered with LaTeX, and other students often ask me for them. The idea of open-sourcing the notes has often come up in conversation, but I have always been skeptical about the technical feasibility. I came across a script called latex2wiki, and decided to try sharing my notes and see what happens. Getting it to look right has taken a bit of work. Also, I have kept my (ugly, hand-drawn) diagrams in PDF form, but it would be better to make nicer ones and put them in the main text.

So, if this is useful to anyone, please let me know! I crank out one or two or three of these a year and already have a bunch lying around, but I will only take the time to convert and upload them if it turns out to be helpful and if other students participate in the writing process.

Guy


 * I certainly hope this book would be helpful to others and encourage you to continue to add content to Wikibooks. Even if it doesn't look perfect, others in the community like myself and others can clean it up and split the content into subpages for easier reading. -- Adrignola talk contribs 19:05, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! The correct category should be soft condensed matter physics or physical chemistry, though - not chemical engineering. Guy Cohen (talk)

Just added second chapter. Needs many corrections... Guy Cohen (talk)
