Description

• LaTeX is a high-barrier-to-entry language. This can be daunting for new members to get into. This introduces friction into the numerical analysis project: instead of focusing on the actual math, considerable time is spent learning how to format and write LaTeX.
• LaTeX breaks easily. A single misplaced symbol can break the entire document, leading to time spent troubleshooting its cryptic error messages.
• An equation in the MCR cannot be traced to its code implementation or vice versa. When a reviewer is tasked with comparing the code implementation to a specific equation in the MCR, it can be cumbersome to have to pull up the MCR and search for the specific equation entry.

This chapter calls for the migration of the content of this document to a new database in the Workspace: . This approach leverages Notion’s LaTeX entry fields and traceable blocks to modularize the MCR into Equation Cards that are traceable between themselves and traceable from the source code.

A direct URL to the related equation card which the code implements This eliminates the need for long docstrings that contain definitions for the already legible parameters. Units are specified as type hints in the function header.
