Just a disclaimer: This is more of an idea that would make it a bit easier (possibly?) to navigate the site, but is also not necessary and really just a “if you find yourself with some free time on your hands” kind of situation. I’d also be happy to help implementing this over the summer/next year if you like the idea.
Anyway, I realised that I am really missing an index - I know the search option exists but if I search (for example) “density of states” I have to click on the page, load it, and then check whether it’s indeed the density of states information I wanted. It’s honestly fine for when you’re online, but if you’re working with printed out material it gets a bit harder.
Something I am missing compared to physical books is an index that links you to the correct section. Sometimes I don’t remember something perfectly or want to double check something, but can’t remember anymore where it was first mentioned/explained, and getting a link to/a note which tells me which section to find it in could be quite helpful especially when working with the printed materials.
To make it both printable as well as practical online, my proposal would be to add a page (maybe under attic?) that has the important terms either alphabetically or per topic linked to the section in which we learn about them. The name of the hyperlink should be the name of the topic, so even when printed it can be used as an index during the exam. For example:
Ohms law (miscroscopic): [Drude model] (./3_drude_model.md#the_starting_point_ohms_law)
Density of States:
- Definition: [Debye model] (./2_debye_model.md#density_of_states)
- In the free electron model: [Sommerfeld model] (./3_sommerfeld_model.md#deriving_the_density_of_states_for_the_parabolic_dispersion_of_the_free_electron_model)
- …
Otherwise I want to compliment the teamon the structure and ease of use of this book/reader, and compliments for the writing style - writing textbooks can really be a hit or miss and this one reads really well :))
