This repo holds a collection of LaTeX style files that I use for lecture notes and problem sets. I originally had a separate style file for each class, but this led to some code duplication. Instead, collating these classes once and for all will allow me to customize LaTeX in a uniform way.

This directory will contain a few different .cls files for problem sets, lecture notes (rich and minimal), and possibly other things. I would also like to document the options I provide for these classes, explaining how to use them and to provide some examples.

Current Status

This is still very much a work in progress, and even when it's "finished" I intend to add other useful commands or tweak the style. Here's what exists now:

• The pset_d directory contains a style file for problem sets, pset_d.cls. At this point, I'm using this class for problem sets with no huge snafus. There are a couple of things I still want to fix: specifically, I would like the ability to define custom problem numbers such as \item[2.A.] and have the class automatically handle things like equation numbering within that item or \refs to that item; this is currently not in place. There are also various smaller TODOs scattered throughout the file. I would also like to provide some more examples: some minimal examples of how to use the class, and some richer examples of what problem sets look like in this template, including demonstrating various class options.
• The lecture_notes directory contains some style files for lecture notes. Though I will still need to make minor changes to these files, I believe the bulk of the work is done. There are three classes: a minimal class, minnotes_d, which only includes the shortcuts I define for live-TeXing; lightnotes_d, which makes a very small number of stylistic changes, and notes_d, which implements the full set of style changes that I use when taking lecture notes. All of these classes have been tested: I expect minor fixes to be necessary, and I will update my macros and notes style, but hopefully nothing major will be needed.
• Right now, these two do not share any code. That is something I would like to fix, but first I should get everything up and running. Since class files cannot include relative path names, I have to use a workaround to get them to share code: I'm using cpp to preprocess the files in the lecture_notes directory, which seems to mostly work.
