74 The Features of the Tufte-book Class
\r
77 \begin_layout Standard
\r
78 In this document, I endeavor to show some of the features of the Tufte-book
\r
80 In the first chapter, I outline their use.
\r
81 In the second chapter, I demonstrate their use through a handout I created
\r
82 in my Calculus class.
\r
83 For those who are viewing the .lyx file, I had to remove the figures and
\r
84 replace them by boxes so that the download would not become overwhelming.

\r
102 The Tufte-book class is based on the work of Edward Tufte.
\r
103 His documents consist of a column of text beside a wide column of margin
\r
104 notes and margin figures.
\r
105 This is to improve readability.

\r
149 Tufte's margins are
\r
150 \begin_inset Quotes eld
\r
154 \begin_inset Quotes erd
\r
157 rather than justified.
\r
158 \begin_inset Flex Sidenote
\r
161 \begin_layout Plain Layout
\r
162 This document is justified.
\r
163 Add the option "justified" to the Custom line of the Document Class part
\r
164 of the Document Settings.
\r
169 The ragged right is used in most of his works, but the option exists for
\r
173 \begin_layout Standard
\r
174 Tufte also formats his pages so that they are not symmetric.
\r
175 Instead, each page is the same and all the marginalia appear on the right
\r
177 After experimentation, I agree that this option is best.
\r
178 A symmetric layout appeared strange, to say the least.
\r
179 \begin_inset Flex Sidenote
\r
182 \begin_layout Plain Layout
\r
183 To create a symmetric layout, add the option "symmetric" to the Custom line
\r

\r
192 \begin_layout Standard
\r
193 Finally, by default, Tufte does not number his chapters or his sections.
\r
194 Since I like to refer to sections by number, I changed this section in
\r
195 the Document Settings by moving the slider under the Numbering and TOC
\r

\r
297 \begin_layout Standard
\r
298 Naturally, the Tufte-book class also allows the use of tables in the margins
\r
299 and in the text in the same way that the figures are used.
\r
300 I would use the margin tables for a small set of data to illustrate a concept
\r
302 \begin_inset Quotes eld
\r
305 Look, distance-time data is quadratic when the object is falling.
\r
306 \begin_inset Quotes erd
\r
309 I might put flame test results and comments in a full-width table.
\r
312 \begin_layout Standard
\r
313 I did attempt to use the figure-wrap float with Tufte.
\r
314 LyX interpreted it as a figure float and sometimes didn't show it at all.
\r
315 With only the narrow column of text available, I think that it should probably
\r
316 be suppressed when someone edits the layout file!
\r
319 \begin_layout Standard
\r
320 A final type of figure is a full-width figure.
\r
321 This is one which takes up the entire width of the page: text and margin
\r
323 I'm proud of this because this was my one original contribution as it does
\r
324 not seem to be in the Tufte-handout.layout file.

\r
379 Tufte provides a number of innovations for use with his text.
\r
380 The first is the extensive use of margin notes.
\r
381 \begin_inset Flex Sidenote
\r
384 \begin_layout Plain Layout
\r
385 This is an example of a Tufte style margin note.
\r
390 Tufte's margin notes use a slightly smaller font and they have the added
\r
391 benefit of reference by a superscript.
\r
392 Ordinary margin notes do not have this.
\r
393 Both types are shown.
\r
394 \begin_inset Marginal
\r
397 \begin_layout Plain Layout
\r
398 This is an ordinary margin note.
\r
406 \begin_layout Standard
\r
407 \begin_inset Flex Newthought
\r
410 \begin_layout Plain Layout
\r
416 innovation is Tufte's
\r
421 It introduces new thoughts, such as this paragraph, with small capitals.
\r
424 \begin_layout Standard
\r
425 Finally, Tufte has a setting to print full-width text.
\r
426 This spreads it from margin to margin.
\r
427 I believe this might be useful for quoting a text.
\r
430 \begin_layout Standard
\r
431 Another available style is
\r
432 \begin_inset Flex Allcaps
\r
435 \begin_layout Plain Layout
\r
444 \begin_layout Full Width
\r
445 This is full width text.
\r
446 I'm not going to quote a text because I don't want to mess with citations
\r
447 and I haven't yet figured out how to use BiBTeX.
\r
448 I thought about quoting from some of my own materials, but then I decided
\r
450 Instead, I decided to just type for a while and fill up 3 lines on my screen
\r
451 with whatever nonsense came into my head.
\r
455 \begin_layout Standard
\r
456 I've honestly not found a use for the fullwidth setting in my own materials.
\r
459 \begin_layout Section
\r
463 \begin_layout Standard
\r
464 I like a lot of what Tufte has done.
\r
465 At the moment, however, I only use his style in my Calculus class.
\r
466 I have a good Calculus book, but it requires extensive notes to adapt it
\r
467 for the high school level.
\r
468 For my Physics, Chemistry, and Biology courses, the Memoir class seems
\r
470 I wish it were possible to take the idea of margin figures from Tufte and
\r
471 put it into Memoir.
\r
472 I also prefer Tufte's method of dealing with margin notes.

\r
484 and rotating it in 3 dimensions around the x-axis.
\r
485 The resulting shape would look somewhat like a cup (on its side).
\r

\r
487 how much water that cup could hold.

\r
611 Now, imagine that we rotate that function about the x-axis.
\r
612 The resulting figure would be somewhat like figure
\r
613 \begin_inset CommandInset ref
\r
615 reference "mar:rotated"
\r
620 This is akin to a cup lying on its side.
\r
621 For the sake of clarity, the artist (me) drew a circle on the end of the
\r
622 figure to show that it is indeed rotated.
\r
625 \begin_layout Standard
\r
626 Now, suppose we wished to find the volume of the figure.
\r
627 When we integrated the original square root function to find its area,
\r
628 we imagined a series of rectangles inside the figure.
\r
630 \begin_inset Formula $h=f(x)$
\r
633 and their width was
\r
634 \begin_inset Formula $dx$
\r
638 Since height multiplied by width was the area of each rectangle, we summed
\r
639 these areas and rewrote this as
\r
640 \begin_inset Formula $\int\, f(x)\, dx$
\r
643 , or, in this specific case,
\r
644 \begin_inset Formula $\int\,\sqrt{x}\, dx$
\r
650 \begin_layout Standard
\r
651 To find the volume of our rotated figure the prodecure is quite similar.
\r
652 Begin by rotating each rectangle about the x-axis.
\r
653 This creates a series of cylinders.
\r
654 \begin_inset Flex Sidenote
\r
657 \begin_layout Plain Layout
\r
658 The text refers to these cylinders as "disks".
\r
659 This is standard practice in all the Calculus books I checked.
\r
664 Then, we can find the volume of each cylinder/disk.
\r
665 The basic formula is:
\r
668 \begin_layout Standard
\r
669 \begin_inset Formula \[
\r
677 \begin_layout Standard
\r
680 \begin_inset Formula $h$
\r
683 is the height of the cylinder (width of the rectangle)
\r
684 \begin_inset Formula $dx$
\r
688 The area of each figure is a circle where
\r
689 \begin_inset Formula $A=\pi r^{2}$
\r
693 The radius in this case is the function
\r
694 \begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\r
701 \begin_layout Standard
\r
702 \begin_inset Formula \[

\r

\r
725 \begin_layout Standard
\r
726 To calculate the volume of one disk, we have
\r
729 \begin_layout Standard
\r
730 \begin_inset Formula \[

740 or, in the general case

744 \begin_inset Formula \[

\r
753 To find the volume of the figure between points
\r
754 \begin_inset Formula $a$
\r
758 \begin_inset Formula $b$
\r
761 we sum the volumes by means of integration:
\r
764 \begin_layout Standard

\r
810 I have no idea how I'd do this in real life, but I'm making a point.
\r
815 I find that the hole the bit makes can be modeled with the function
\r
816 \begin_inset Formula $g(x)=\frac{x^{2}}{16}$
