1.2 Book Structure

A certain folder structure is used to organize the notes. Each folder corresponds to a specific mathematical area, and within each folder, there are chapters that cover specific topics within that area. A small example of the repository is given below.

1.3 Examples, Figures, Tables, and Code Snippets

If a chapter requires examples, figures, tables, or code snippets, they should be included in their respective folders. For instance, if a chapter in the “Survival_Analysis” folder requires examples, they should be placed in a the folder Examples/Survival_Analysis. This way, all related materials are organized together, making it easier to maintain and update, without touching other files.
