How to compile 如何编译

Due to copyright issues, we are not allowed to have a freely available PDF version of this book online. However, you can create one yourself if you so choose! In order to compile a PDF of this book yourself, you either need a working implementation of Latex on your computer or use the online Latex editor overleaf.com. 由于版权问题，我们无法在网上提供该书的免费 PDF 版本。不过，如果您愿意，可以自行制作！为了自行编译该书的 PDF，您需要在电脑上安装可用的 LaTeX 环境，或者使用在线 LaTeX 编辑器 overleaf.com。

Overleaf compilation Overleaf 编译

On overleaf, you can either upload a zip file of the source code (“download ZIP” option underneath the green “Code” button on this page), or fork the project into your Github account and import it directly into Overleaf from there. 在 Overleaf 上，您可以上传源代码的压缩包（点击本页面绿色“Code”按钮下方的“download ZIP”选项），或者将该项目 Fork 到您的 Github 账户，然后直接从那里导入到 Overleaf。

Latex Compilation Prerequisites LaTeX 编译前提条件

• LaTeX installation with pdflatex and bibtex
• 安装包含 pdflatex 和 bibtex 的 LaTeX 环境
• ImageMagick (for converting missing figures)
• ImageMagick（用于转换缺失的图表）

Compilation Steps 编译步骤

pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode book.tex
bibtex book
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode book.tex
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode book.tex

The final PDF will be generated as book.pdf. 最终生成的 PDF 文件名为 book.pdf。

Notes 注意事项

• The -interaction=nonstopmode flag allows compilation to continue past non-fatal errors
• -interaction=nonstopmode 参数允许编译在遇到非致命错误时继续进行
• Multiple pdflatex runs are needed to resolve cross-references and citations
• 需要多次运行 pdflatex 以解析交叉引用和引文
• Some warnings about overfull boxes are normal and don’t affect the final output
• 关于“overfull boxes”的一些警告是正常的，不会影响最终输出
