Highlights: formulate at the beginning what the reader should expect from reading the notes/chapter.
Enough details so the text is easy to follow (when you read the textbook, you’ll notice that in many cases the author skips steps, and you’ll need to reconstruct those steps and make your notes better than the textbook).
Examples (give/generate at least 3 examples that are not in the textbook or lecture notes).
Visualizations (give/generate a few charts, pictures, graphs or other kinds of visualizations; in particular try to use Maple and, so, you can also explain and show it to the reader).
Historical remarks. For instance, when a name of a scientist pops up, you’ll need to do some search and write a few sentences about the scientist and his/her achievements. Another example is some historical remarks about the related models.
Summary: a take-home message for the reader and what was the reason to read the text. This part is required to be typeset in TeX using the templ
ate. It is worth maximum 30 points. It will go through the review process and the grading will be based on clarity, creativity, how well you use reasoning, and how well you follow the instructions. Also, your text will be checked for plagiarism and I reserve the right to deduct up to 15 points for excessive (=5 issues per page) grammar mistakes and typos. At this point, you should combine the parts together and make sure that the total length (WP Parts I, II, and III) should be at least 16 pages including references and should not exceed 19 pages (still, WP part III itself should be at least 3 pages). The deadline to submit your first version is Monday, April 26th at 11:59pm US Eastern time (it will not be accepted after that).
Warning: you cannot use pictures or graphs produced by others. For instance, if you have a graph, you should provide the code to generate it. The only exception is a picture of a scientist, but you need to clearly state where the picture is taken from.
