# ORMC Handouts
|
|
|
|
This repository contains all the handouts I've written for the [ORMC](https://circles.math.ucla.edu/circles/). \
|
|
You can find the latest PDFs [here](https://static.betalupi.com/ormc).
|
|
|
|
**For my students:** Handouts will appear here a few days before class. Please don't look at them (or their solutions) beforehand, that spoils all the fun!
|
|
|
|
**For everyone else:** If you are not affiliated with the ORMC, ask for permission before using these.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 📦 Contents
|
|
|
|
Handouts are sorted by the class they're for:
|
|
- [`./Intermediate`](./Intermediate/): Grades 5 - 9
|
|
- [`./Advanced`](./Advanced): Grades 9 - 12
|
|
|
|
Grade levels are estimates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 🛠️ Building these Handouts
|
|
|
|
Automatic builds are [here](https://static.betalupi.com/ormc), if you just want the PDFs.
|
|
|
|
If you want to edit these files, you'll need to download a custom document class. \
|
|
To compile one handout, do the following:
|
|
1. Download the handout's directory (i.e, download the whole repo as a zip and extract the folder you want.)
|
|
1. Download [`./resources/ormc_handout.cls`](./resources/ormc_handout.cls)
|
|
2. Put this class in the same directory as the handout.
|
|
3. Fix the include path at the top of the handout.
|
|
|
|
Usually, you'll need to replace
|
|
|
|
```latex
|
|
\documentclass[
|
|
...
|
|
]{../../resources/ormc_handout}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
with
|
|
|
|
```latex
|
|
\documentclass[
|
|
...
|
|
]{ormc_handout}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These documents should work with any LaTeX engine. \
|
|
However, try changing your engine to LuaLaTeX if something breaks.
|

# 📜 Class Documentation
|
|
|
|
The class `ormc_handout` is based on `article.cls`, and should work with most LaTeX packages. It has everything you need and nothing you don't; it looks pretty and it is optimized for greyscale printing.
|
|
|
|
If you find something broken, please tell me so I may try to fix it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 🎏 Arguments
|
|
|
|
These are passed to `\documentclass`, as follows:
|
|
```latex
|
|
% Documentclass argument example
|
|
\documentclass[
|
|
nosolutions,
|
|
shortwarning
|
|
]{ormc_handout}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `10pt`, `11pt`, `12pt`:\
|
|
Default: `10pt`. Sets font size.
|
|
|
|
- `pagenumber`, `nopagenumber`:\
|
|
Default: `pagenumber`. Shows or hides page numbers.
|
|
|
|
- `solutions`, `nosolutions`:\
|
|
Default: `solutions`\
|
|
If `nosolutions` is passed, `solution` and `instructornote` environments are hidden.
|
|
|
|
- `showwarning`, `hidewarning`:\
|
|
Default: `showwarning`. Shows or hides instructor handout warning.
|
|
|
|
- `shortwarning`, `longwarning`:\
|
|
Default: `longwarning`. Sets instructor handout warning type.
|
|
|
|
- `multinumbering`, `singlenumbering`:\
|
|
Default: `multinumbering`\
|
|
How problems, theorems, etc should be numbered. If `mulitnumbering` is passed, problems, theorems, etc will be numbered independently. If `singlenumbering` is passed, one global counter will be used. (I think `singlenumering` is better, it makes the handout easier to navigate.)
|
|
|
|
Use `geometry` to change page lengths. Letter paper is the default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 🪖 Commands & More:
|
|
`ormc_handout` automatically includes `tcolorbox`, `xcolor`, `tikz`, `amsmath`, `amssymb`. \
|
|
It also includes a few other packages that are used internally and shouldn't have an effect on most workflows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### **Basics:**
|
|
|
|
- `\say{text}`: Puts text in quotes, handling details like period spacing. Courtesy of `dirtytalk`.
|
|
- `\tab`: Typewriter-style tabs every `1cm`. Courtesy of `tabto`.
|
|
- `\maketitle`: Makes a title. This is never placed on a separate page.
|
|
- Set title data with the following commands:\
|
|
`\title{text}`, `\subtitle{text}`, `\uptitlel{text}`, `\uptitler{text}`\
|
|
`\uptitlel` and `\uptitler` are optional, but usually come together.
|
|
- `\note[Type]{text}`: Makes a note.
|
|
- `\hint{text}`: Shorthand for `\note[Hint]{text}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### **Sectioning:**
|
|
|
|
The usual LaTeX title-customization techniques *WILL NOT WORK* with this class.\
|
|
Don't even try to load `titlesec`.
|
|
|
|
- `\section{title}<label>`: Creates a section with an optional label.\
|
|
You do not need to include the angle brackets.\
|
|
If you do, you can reference this section with `\ref{label}`.
|
|
- `\definition{title}<label>`: Makes a definition. Works just like `\section`.
|
|
- `\proposition{title}<label>`: Makes a proposition. Works just like `\section`.
|
|
- `\theorem{title}<label>`: Makes a theorem. Works just like `\section`.
|
|
- `\example{title}<label>`: Makes an example. Works just like `\section`.
|
|
- `\problem{title}<label>`: Makes a problem. Works just like `\section`.
|
|
- `\problempart{title}<label>`: Makes a problem part. Works just like `\section`.\
|
|
As the name implies, this command should only be used to make subparts of `\problems`.\
|
|
This command may be removed in the future.
|
|
- `\generic{title}<label>`: Makes a generic section. Works just like `\section`.\
|
|
Avoid using this if you can. \
|
|
Generic sections have no counter, and are usually used to get text to look the same as a section title. \
|
|
This command may be removed in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### **Environments:**
|
|
|
|
- `\begin{solution}`: A fancy `tcolorbox` for solutions to problems. \
|
|
This is hidden if the `nosolutions` flag is passed.
|
|
- `\begin{instrutornote}`: A fancy `tcolorbox` for instructor notes. \
|
|
This is hidden if the `nosolutions` flag is passed.
|
|
- `\begin{examplesolution}`: A fancy `tcolorbox` for sample solutions. \
|
|
This is never hidden.
|
|
|
|
All the above environments break across pages and may be safely nested.
|
|
|
|
Each also has a special command `\linehack`, which draws a line across the box.\
|
|
Use `\linehack` instead of `tcolorbox` sections. `tcolorbox` only lets you have two, while `\linehack` gives you as many as you want. |
