Hack the Derivative

This is the source of a presentation given for PyData 2015. The generated slides are available here.

The functions used in this presentation are also on GitHub here and can be installed with pip install hackthederivative.

Build

To build the slides yourself, you will need LaTeX installed. You can then build with

pdflatex hack-the-derivative.tex

If you'd like this to automatically build upon saves to the .tex files, you can use Watchdog. Assuming you have this installed (pip install watchdog), simply run

watchmedo tricks-from pdflatex-trick.yaml
