A repository of my personal notes for second year Engineering Physics at UBC.

Year 2 Notes

These are my notes for second year Engineering at UBC. They were originally on Boostnote before I got fed up of the platform and moved to VSCode markdown.

Setup

Unfortunately, Github does not support (easily implemented) math markdown equations, so the only way to nicely view these notes is to pull the repo and set up a markdown viewer. I personally use VSCode. To setup, pull the code from github and download VSCode here. Download the Markdown+Math extension and optionally Markdown All in One. Also, open settings.json (Ctrl+P and type settings.json) and add the following:

"mdmath.delimiters": "dollars", 
"mdmath.macros": {
    "\\R": "\\mathbb{R}",
    "\\vek": "{\\begin{pmatrix}#1\\\\#2\\end{pmatrix}}"
}

I'll probably add more macros as I realize more helpful shortcuts (this wasn't an option in Boostnote). You should now be able to open all of the notes in the preview pane with beautifully rendered LaTeX math.

Useful commands I'll forget:

To fix Boostnote export images, run following command in root folder:

find . -type f -name '*.md' -exec sed -i 's|(attachments\/[a-z0-9\-]*\/\([a-z0-9]*\).png)|(attachments/\1.png)|' {} +
