CAPQ

The Constantly Asked Physics Questions is my personal FAQ for physics questions. It's in early development. It's available here.

It is simultaneously built as an .html page and a .pdf booklet with pandoc.

You can contribute your own question+answer pairs. If you are completely git-illitterate, you can just PM me answers on reddit. If you are git-positive, just clone, edit the file src/source.md and give me a pull request.

src/source.md is a markdown file, so it's really easy to write answers. You can add inline and not-inline math with MathJax syntax. Just read a bit of how the other questions are formatted and especially the title header.

Build instructions

Prerequisites for building:

  • pandoc
  • working latex environment

and only if you plan on editing src/fdiagrams/diagrams.tex for Feynman diagrams:

  • feynfm (as in: you managed to use it at least once)
  • mpost
  • inkscape

to build the webpage + pdf, cd to the project folder and run make. If you need to rebuild the Feynman diagrams (only, again, if you edited src/fdiagrams/diagrams.tex), you're going to see a swarm of inkscape windows flash on the screen. Ignore him, he's weird.

If you need to compile only one of the two files index.html or tex/capq-booklet.pdf (say, "do I look like I know what a lay-teck is?"), just run

make index.html

or

make tex/capq-booklet.pdf
