Hello, everyone.

I would like to collect a few examples of real-world Tufte-LaTeX
documents to link to from the Tufte-LaTeX web page.

If you've used the tufte-handout or tufte-book classes to create a
document that you wouldn't mind sharing with others, please send me a
link to the document or the actual document if you'd like me to host
it on the Tufte-LaTeX site itself. Feel free to include any class
options or notes about additional packages you used in the document
design as well.

I think having a gallery of great examples would go a long way toward
promoting the Tufte-LaTeX classes and good document design.

Thanks for your help!

I use tufte-handout for everything I write, from letters to resumes to
papers (and will use tufte-book if I write a book). I've posted the
following. Feel free to link to or host any one which you feel shows
tufte-handout to advantage.

Hello Kevin,

I look forward to updating to 3.0 and seeing the new results.

Here are two examples of mine using Tufte-LaTex.

The first is a handout (4 pages, meant to printed double-sided booklet
on 11" x 17" paper) "Math Club" lecture on volumes of n-dimensional
spheres. It can be found at http://people.ucsc.edu/~weissman/MathClubTalk2009.pdf

The second is a book (125 pages and growing) that I'm writing for my
graduate course in number theory. It can be found at
http://slugmath.ucsc.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Image:NumberTheory.pdf

I would prefer if these pages/files were linked from a webpage, rather
than duplicated on the Tufte-LaTex site. In particular, the book is
still in progress, and the lecture notes may get modified a bit in the
future (perhaps to update to Tufte-LaTex 3.0.

Thank you so much for creating this LaTex package - I've gotten great
feedback on it from my students and audiences during lectures.

best,

I've added a link to your papers page on the front page of the
Tufte-LaTeX project site (http://code.google.com/p/tufte-latex/).
Thanks for sharing your work!

Thanks for the links to your handout and your new book. I love
showing off your graphical proof in the handout! I've added a link to
both the handout and your book on the front page of the Tufte-LaTeX
project site (http://code.google.com/p/tufte-latex/).
