It may have been done in org-mode and then exported to LaTeX. That's how I'd do it, anyway.

(David/author here): I haven't actually seen org-mode before. I'll take a look!

I wrote these in sharelatex using a template and commands file I put together that help write notes quickly in latex (they're available here if anyone is interested: https://github.com/david-abel/latex_docs).

Gary Schwartz[0] and Howard Abrams[1][2] both have nice explainers about org-mode which explain the advantages and how to get started.

There's also a nice discussion on the Emacs Reddit page[3] about "Why Org-Mode?"
