From c147441f018f376358b968fcae715c8643f2a70a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roger Labbe Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2015 19:40:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Fixed second link of PDF, removed contents section. The contents section is a pain to maintain, and it doesn't really add anything of important. Maybe i'll add it back in once the book is settled down, but probabl not. --- README.md | 110 +----------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 109 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 16d8171..31a1ff9 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ The preface available from the link above has all the information in this README I periodically generate a PDF of the book from the Notebooks.
