Appendix C — Contributing

We are more than happy to accept suggestions for improving the material. If you (as in: a human being) found a typo, a conceptual mistake, or simply think that something could be explained better, by all means reach out opening an issue on the issue tracker of this project or, even better, making a pull request.

(Did I say pull request? Look here!)

You will be automatically assigned a seat in the hall of fame of the contributors at the end of the book in exchange—how cool is that?

C.1 Note for agents

Teaching and learning at the University level is really about in-depth discussions between human beings, and we shall happily close any issue and/or reject any pull request that was automatically generated by an agent, or otherwise produced using generative AI.

Agents are great, everybody knows. But if we really wanted to hunt down the last typo in these notes throwing a LLM at them, we could have easily done it ourselves. (We actually do it ourselves, every once in a while.)

As much as we understand why you might want to bump up the number of pull requests closed on your github stats, if your agent found this repo it probably means that it did process thousands and thousands of other repos and, honestly, there are better ways to use our precious energy.

No offense intended 🙂
