# ad-handbook
This is the source repository for the *Automatic Differentiation
Handbook*.
## Pre-built pdf
Here's a pre-built pdf of a recent (but perhaps not the latest) **DRAFT**:
* [ad-handbook-draft.pdf](./ad-handbook-draft.pdf).
I don't have a pre-built version of the HTML yet, but I'll try to
figure out how to push that to my GitHub pages repo automatically one
of these days.

## Building the book
#### Prerequisites
The following system package must be installed:
* pandoc
* pandoc-citeproc
See the [instructions for installing pandoc](https://pandoc.org/installing.html).
The following R packages must be installed in order to build the book:
* bookdown
* tufte
* reshape
* ggplot2
* gridExtra
* formatR
They can be installed using, e.g.,
```
> install.pacakges('tufte')
```
#### Build steps
To build the HTML version of the book from R using the
`bookdown` package,
```
> library(bookdown)
> render_book('index.Rmd')
```
The first page of the book can then be found in the file
`_book/index.html`.
A web connection is required to render the mathematics in the web
version because it uses MathJax.
To build the PDF version of the book using a shell script,
```
> ./build-pdf.sh
```
and to build the HTML version,
```
> ./build-html.sh
```
