LaTeX Strategy — All RTSG Publications

Requirement

  • ALL RTSG books use LaTeX typesetting
  • Professional mathematical typography throughout
  • Equations rendered as real typeset mathematics, not images
  • This applies to all books in the pipeline

Why LaTeX

  • Mathematical equations must look professional and serious
  • LaTeX is the gold standard for mathematical publishing
  • It signals: this is real science, not pop psychology
  • The equations ARE the differentiator — they must be beautiful
  • Academic credibility without academic gatekeeping

Key Equations to Feature Prominently

The Utility Function

\[U = \frac{V}{E \times T}\]

Cross-Dimensional Edge Count

\[\binom{k}{2} = \frac{k(k-1)}{2}\]

Maximum Activation State

\[\binom{12}{2} = 66 \text{ edges}\]

Will as Scalar Multiplier

\[\hat{I} = W \cdot \hat{n}\]

Compound Intelligence Growth

\[I(t) = I_0 \cdot (1 + r)^t\]

Percolation Threshold

\[p_c \approx \frac{7}{12} \approx 0.583\]

Cross-Dimensional Bonus (Product Rule)

\[B_{\text{cross}} = k_1 \cdot k_2\]

Dual-Channel Learning Bonus

\[B_{\text{dual}} = \sum_{i \in L} \sum_{j \in R} w_{ij}\]

Production Workflow

  1. Write content in markdown/plain text
  2. Add LaTeX equations using $$ delimiters
  3. Compile with: pdflatex or xelatex
  4. Use memoir or tufte-book document class for elegant layout
  5. Generate both PDF (for digital/print) and EPUB (for Kindle)

Template Requirements

  • Clean, modern design
  • Georgia or similar serif font for body text
  • Latin Modern Math for equations
  • Wide margins for notes (Tufte-style)
  • Chapter headings matching the memoir style (CHAPTER N + title + rule)
  • Page headers with book title
  • Consistent equation numbering

Implementation

  • Create a master LaTeX template
  • All books share the same template
  • Consistent visual identity across the RTSG publishing line
  • The math IS the brand
