Nice work!

Can we flag edits on github somewhere?

I found a typo at line 60 of https://dafriedman97.github.io/mlbook/content/conventions_no..., where your second "is written as $$" is missing the empty line before the "$$".

Thanks for the catch! Ugh those pesky $$s. Changed it now.

Looks like you found the repository. Do you think it would be enough to raise an issue there? (at https://github.com/dafriedman97/mlbook)? I'll look into linking directly from the book to the repo.

Thanks!

Added the issue.

Yes, I did find the repo. Hesitated adding the issue right away because the source files have ".md.txt" and ".html", but not the original ".md" files for me to fix them directly.

Yeah the book was built with JupyterBook. It's an awesome tool but I lose track of what it does to the .md files when creating the website.
