Oct 1, 2025October 2025 (2025-10) monthly summary for TUDelft-MUDE/book. Focused on improving documentation readability, consistency, and educational value through typography standardization, editorial fixes, and new Monte Carlo content, while addressing structural and parsing issues to enhance maintainability and contributor onboarding. Key outcomes include typography and math notation harmonization (mathbb, mathrm, mathbf; bold for vectors; white lines for math), Monte Carlo Simulation content added, editorial content updates (overview, MC page, 5.2, credits), pagination and parsing fixes (final page, missing parentheses, spurious punctuation), header structure fixes, PDE chapter minor edits, spell checking, and changelog updates. These changes deliver clearer, more reliable docs and reduce future maintenance costs.

Sep 1, 2025Month: 2025-09 — Developer monthly summary for TUDelft-MUDE/book focusing on key deliverables, quality improvements, and impact. Key features delivered: - Credits and attribution overhaul: Added Anna as author, special thanks to Ronald; updated credits, disentangled distribution credits, and reordered sections; changelog updated to reflect new contributions. - Content integrity and presentation improvements: Fixed typos, corrected credits across sections, fixed date display, improved bullets wrapping, and ensured overview linkage so content appears in the main overview. - Documentation and navigation reliability: Updated changelog entries, improved links to the uncertainty classification page, fixed a broken navigation hyperlink, and ensured content is properly linked from multiple access points. - Visualization and plotting enhancements: Replaced an interactive plot with a more efficient static version for stability; added and updated captions/credits for interactive plots; improved plot rendering performance. - Structural/content-management updates: Restored missing Chapter 2 pages, removed the multivariate page from the uncertainty propagation workflow, and restructured credits to reflect disentanglement and new order. Major bugs fixed: - Cross-chapter removal fix to ensure consistency across chapters. - Attribution quick fix to correct attribution data. - More accurate credits in the credits section. - Typo fixes and general text quality improvements across docs/UI. - Corrected the date value shown in documents. - Equation rendering fixes for correctly displayed math. - Terminology correction from backward to forward where relevant. - Fixed credits on beta page and corrected navigation links. - Broken hyperlink in UI/navigation fixed. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved content accuracy, attribution integrity, and contributor recognition, strengthening trust with users and contributors. - Enhanced document quality, readability, and navigation reliability, reducing post-release support and edit cycles. - Improved performance and stability of visualizations, contributing to faster load times and better user experience. - Maintained and improved project governance through updated changelogs and clearer credits structure. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Version control discipline across a broad set of files (credits, changelog, docs, UI). - Text and mathematical notation consistency (Cov/rho notation, math rendering). - Content management and link/data integrity testing (overviews, uncertainty pages, and navigation). - Quality assurance practices (spell check, typo detection, formatting fixes). - User experience improvements (captioning/crediting for plots, improved navigation).
