76 % \section{Introduction}
77 % The \flashcards\ class provides for the typesetting of flash
78 % cards in \LaTeXe. By flash card, I mean a two sided card which
79 % has a prompt or a question on one side and the response or the
80 % answer on the flip (back) side. Flash cards come in many sizes
81 % depending on the nature of the information they contain. In
82 % particular, I like using both $3 \times 5''$ (index cards) and
83 % $2 \times 3\frac{1}{2}''$ (business cards) which are available
84 % in perforated sheets suitable for printing or copying onto.
86 % In order to use this package effectively, you will need to
87 % accurately configure |dvips| (or similar) for your printer.
88 % \LaTeX\ provides a helpful |testpage.tex| for this purpose.
91 % \section{Using FlashCards}
92 % \flashcards\ utilizes the standard \LaTeXe\ class interface. Your
93 % document should be begin with:
95 % |\documentclass[|\textit{options}|]{flashcards}|
98 % \subsection{Options}
99 % \DescribeMacro{avery5371}
100 % All documents should specify the paper type. I have provided
101 % the two that I use, business cards (Avery 5371 as well as Avery
102 % 5376, 5377, 5911, 8371, 8376, 8377, 8471 and 8373) and
103 % \DescribeMacro{avery5388}
104 % index cards (Avery 5388), but variants are easy to generate. Please
105 % refer to Section \ref{sec:paperconfig} for the details of creating
106 % your own configuration file for a particular type of paper.
108 % \DescribeMacro{fronts}
109 % If desired, you can typeset just the |fronts| of the cards or just
110 % the |backs| of the cards. Useful if your printer does not print
111 % \DescribeMacro{backs}
112 % two sides without your help, although |dvips| offers the same
113 % functionality with odd/even switches (|-A| or |-B|, respectively).
115 % \DescribeMacro{grid}
116 % Useful for getting everything lined up as well as for examining
117 % the cards as you create them, the |grid| option will draw lines
118 % where the perforation will be.
120 % \DescribeMacro{frame}
121 % The |frame| option will frame the contents of the card with a thin
122 % line. There will be a uniform margin (see below for how to set it)
123 % between the edge of the card and the frame.
125 % \DescribeMacro{dvips}
126 % If you are using landscape oriented paper, you may want to use the
127 % |dvips| option to send the right specials to |dvips| so that it
128 % knows about the orientation without have to tell it from the
129 % command line. Warning: this option displaces my margins, if the
130 % same happens to you, then you will want to avoid it or create a
131 % special configuration for this case. There must be some
132 % alternative configuration file somewhere that gets used when this
133 % option is specified for the |geometry| package.
135 % \subsection{Environment}
136 % \DescribeEnv{flashcard}
137 % The \flashcards\ class provideds the environment |flashcard|
138 % for specifying the contents of each flash card. The |flashcard|
139 % environment has one required argument, which becomes the
140 % contents of the front side of the card (the question or prompt).
141 % The body of the environment then becomes the contents of the
142 % back side of the card. For example,
144 % \begin{flashcard}{Dense Subset}
145 % A subset $S$ of a normed space $B$ is called \emph{dense}
146 % in $B$ if {\rm cl} $S$ = $B$.
149 % will produce the front-back pair:
151 % \fbox{\parbox[t][1in][c]{2in}{%
152 % \footnotesize\vspace*{\fill}\par
153 % \centerline{\textbf{Dense Subset}}\par\vspace*{\fill}}}
154 % \fbox{\parbox[t][1in][c]{2in}{%
155 % \footnotesize\vspace*{\fill}\par\begin{center}%
156 % A subset $S$ of a normed space $B$ is called \emph{dense}
157 % in $B$ if {\rm cl} $S$ = $B$.\end{center}\par\vspace*{\fill}}}
159 % This is not the end of the story, however, there are several
160 % styles to choose from and an optional argument to the |flashcard|
161 % environment. These will be descibed next.
163 % \subsection{Styles}
164 % By default, \flashcards\ uses the |plain| style for both the front
165 % and back of the flash card. The |plain| style centers the contents
166 % horizontally and vertically. The front contents are also set in
167 % in large bold face, but this can be changed while setting the
168 % style as described below.
170 % \DescribeMacro{\cardfrontstyle}
171 % The style of the front of the card can be conveniently selected
172 % with the |\cardfrontstyle{|\textit{style}|}| command, where
173 % \textit{style} can be one of |empty|, |plain|, or |headings|.
174 % The |plain| style has already been described. The |empty|
175 % style does not center the contents horizontally nor vertically,
176 % allowing for more generic usage. The |headings| style allows you to
177 % set a running footer with
178 % \DescribeMacro{\cardfrontfoot}
179 % the |\cardfrontfoot{|\textit{text}|}| command, as well
180 % as set a header for each card with an optional argument to
181 % the |flashcard| environment. For example,
183 % \cardfrontstyle{headings}
184 % \cardfrontfoot{Functional Analysis}
185 % \begin{flashcard}[Definition]{Dense Subset}
186 % A subset $S$ of a normed space $B$ is called \emph{dense}
187 % in $B$ if {\rm cl} $S$ = $B$.
190 % will produce the front-back pair:
192 % \fbox{\parbox[t][1in][c]{2in}{%
193 % \footnotesize\textsc{Definition}\par\vspace*{\fill}\par
194 % \centerline{\textbf{Dense Subset}}\par\vspace*{\fill}\par
195 % \hspace*{\fill}\textsc{Functional Analysis}}}
196 % \fbox{\parbox[t][1in][c]{2in}{%
197 % \footnotesize\vspace*{\fill}\par\begin{center}%
198 % A subset $S$ of a normed space $B$ is called \emph{dense}
199 % in $B$ if {\rm cl} $S$ = $B$.\end{center}\par\vspace*{\fill}}}
202 % You can also change the default formatting of the contents of the
203 % front of the card by including the new formatting commands as an
204 % optional argument to |\cardfrontstyle|. For example, to set the
205 % overall style to be |plain| (thus centering the contents of the
206 % front of the card), as well as set the contents in a large
207 % slanted face, you could issue the command:
209 % |\cardfrontstyle[\LARGE\slshape]{plain}|
212 % \DescribeMacro{\cardbackstyle}
213 % The style of the back of the card can be conveniently selected
214 % with the |\cardbackstyle{|\textit{style}|}| command, where
215 % \textit{style} can either be |empty| or |plain|. The |plain| style
216 % has already been described. The |empty| style does not center the
217 % contents horizontally nor vertically, allowing for more generic
220 % The default formatting can also be changed through an optional
221 % argument in the same manner as for the front of the card.
223 % \subsubsection{Headings Styles}
224 % \DescribeMacro{\cardfrontheadstyle}
225 % The header and footer provided for the front of the card by the
226 % |headings| style can be customized through two style commands.
227 % \DescribeMacro{\cardfrontfootstyle}
228 % The available styles for the header and footer are |left|,
229 % |center| and |right|, which will place the contents of the
230 % header or footer as advertized. By default the header will be
231 % |left| justified and the footer will be |right| justified.
233 % Here as well, you can provide an optional argument to specify
234 % the formatting of the header and footer, for example to have
235 % the footer centered and set in a small italic face:
237 % |\cardfrontfootstyle[\small\itshape]{center}|
240 % \subsection{Lengths}
241 % \flashcards\ has one length (in addition to the those discussed in
242 % paper configuration below) which allows you to set the size of the
243 % uniform margin around the contents of both the front and back of
244 % the card. For example, to set that uniform margin at $1/4''$, you
245 % can do the following:
247 % |\setlength{\cardmargin}{0.25in}|
251 % \section{Sample Document}
255 \documentclass[avery5388,grid,frame]{flashcards}
257 \cardfrontstyle[\large\slshape]{headings}
258 \cardbackstyle{empty}
262 \cardfrontfoot{Functional Analysis}
265 \begin{flashcard}[Definition]{Norm on a Linear Space \\ Normed Space}
267 A real-valued function $||x||$ defined on a linear space $X$, where
268 $x \in X$, is said to be a \emph{norm on} $X$ if
273 \item [Positivity] $||x|| \geq 0$,
274 \item [Triangle Inequality] $||x+y|| \leq ||x|| + ||y||$,
275 \item [Homogeneity] $||\alpha x|| = |\alpha| \: ||x||$,
276 $\alpha$ an arbitrary scalar,
277 \item [Positive Definiteness] $||x|| = 0$ if and only if $x=0$,
282 where $x$ and $y$ are arbitrary points in $X$.
286 A linear/vector space with a norm is called a \emph{normed space}.
290 \begin{flashcard}[Definition]{Inner Product}
292 Let $X$ be a complex linear space. An \emph{inner product} on $X$ is
293 a mapping that associates to each pair of vectors $x$, $y$ a scalar,
294 denoted $(x,y)$, that satisfies the following properties:
299 \item [Additivity] $(x+y,z) = (x,z) + (y,z)$,
300 \item [Homogeneity] $(\alpha \: x, y) = \alpha (x,y)$,
301 \item [Symmetry] $(x,y) = \overline{(y,x)}$,
302 \item [Positive Definiteness] $(x,x) > 0$, when $x\neq0$.
307 \begin{flashcard}[Definition]{Linear Transformation/Operator}
309 A transformation $L$ of (operator on) a linear space $X$ into a linear
310 space $Y$, where $X$ and $Y$ have the same scalar field, is said to be
311 a \emph{linear transformation (operator)} if
316 \item $L(\alpha x) = \alpha L(x), \forall x\in X$ and $\forall$
317 scalars $\alpha$, and
318 \item $L(x_1 + x_2) = L(x_1) + L(x_2)$ for all $x_1,x_2 \in X$.
328 % \section{Paper Configuration}
329 % \label{sec:paperconfig}
331 % A separate configuration file specifies the details of each
332 % paper type. You should be able to create a new configuration
333 % file from the information the paper manufacturer provides
334 % with the product. Again, in order for this to work properly,
335 % you must accurately configure your printer. I recommend
336 % using |testpage.tex| and reading the |dvips| (or similar)
337 % documentation (|info dvips| on a typical \textsc{Linux}
338 % installation). Also, on my setup I have experienced variation
339 % between portrait and landscape oriented papers.
341 % There are seven parameters which must be set. The names should be
342 % somewhat self explanatory. I recommend making a copy of one of the
343 % existing configuration files and modifying the copy as
346 % For example, a $5 \times 2$ business card stock that I have been
347 % using has a $0.75''$ left and right margins and a $0.50''$ top margin
348 % which offset an array of $2''$ high and $3.5''$ wide business cards
349 % arranged in $5$ vertical rows and $2$ horizontal columns. I use
350 % the following configuration file:
352 % \newcommand{\cardpaper}{letterpaper}
353 % \newcommand{\cardpapermode}{portrait}
354 % \newcommand{\cardrows}{5}
355 % \newcommand{\cardcolumns}{2}
356 % \setlength{\cardheight}{2.0in}
357 % \setlength{\cardwidth}{3.5in}
358 % \setlength{\topoffset}{0.50in}
359 % \setlength{\oddoffset}{0.75in}
360 % \setlength{\evenoffset}{0.75in}
362 % All four commands must be defined and all five lengths must be
363 % specified. If the array of cards is not centered left-to-right
364 % on the paper, you should set |\oddoffset| to the left margin of
365 % the front and |\evenoffset| to the right margin of the front.
370 % \section{Class Source}
371 % The \LaTeXe\ source code follows. The flash cards are built up
372 % in an array of save boxes which are flushed at the end of each
373 % page and at the end of the document.
