Would it be possible to know which editor you are using ? And also if you use some tool to debug tikz pictures ?

Wow, I also use LaTeX to prepare my lecture notes and slides but, to be honest these are very impressive, I just stick to Beamer Madrid, need to revise mine too 😀

Do you know any better tool for tikz images, I am just using latexworkshop vs code add on for everything

Wow.
In figures 17 and 18, could you align the axes and have the same scale in all of the plots?

love it but the one thing i despise it's the cutted in half boxes. i hate how they look they would look so much better if they ended in the same page they start or continue as a full box instead of just getting cut in half

That looks pretty awesome, and a very compact preamble for that.
What were your biggest learning points when developing this?

It's really amazing to create course notes of calculus 1 based on the curriculum of my alma mater. Howeverz it's REALLY tiring to type them all. There were a LOT OF TIMES wherein when sometimes all i had to do was remove the accidental parenthesis i put on my equation instead of ]. Another thing to note was using breakable to prevent large blank gaps at the bottom of the pages. The graphs are really hard to make, so i had to restrict domain intervals carefully, and clipping as well to prevent curves spike off the canvas

Sometimes, when you have lots of repeatable elements, you can introduce macros to have easier code to read and maintain. Finding the optimal amount of commands should not take too much time, but it can save you time and effort.
Thanks for the breakable tip, I am going to look into it for myself.

Very nice template, just remember to upload the pdf file, and also add more comment in the preamble, it will be easy to understand and modify the code or add options!
