It was a great class @ArnaudDeza, thanks for putting it together! Next task is publishing it 😄

Thanks for including the source for your slides/notebooks in this PR. We absolutely want to include that in the repo. In addition to that, we also want to provide HTML previews of all the materials. To that end, can you please look into including HTML versions of the jupyter notebooks (make sure to pre-run and save the notebooks to include final results/figures). You can try nbconvert. That way we can add links to them from the main class docs.

Please also make a class page on the website. You can do that by making a markdown overview file and adding an entry to this part of the docs pointing to it (e.g. "Class 2" => "class02/overview.md",):

LearningToControlClass/docs/make.jl

Lines 34 to 40 in d294ddd

	pages = [
	"Home" => "index.md",
	"Class 1" => ["class01/class01.md",
	"class01/background_materials/git_adventure_guide.md",
	],
	],
	)

You can see a preview of the docs with this PR's changes at https://learningtooptimize.github.io/LearningToControlClass/previews/PR27/ (currently unmodified). It will update every time you push so we can preview changes before merging.

Feel free to reach out with any questions. Andrew and I (and copilot 🤖 #35!) are happy to help.

@ArnaudDeza we should aim at addressing the requests in this PR (fixes, making the html available for the notebooks and writing an overview of the class topics pointing to the present material ("Class 2" => "class02/overview.md") before the next class. While you only have to write your full chapter in the next weeks, the students need the reference material and any in-depth material (homeworks, further reading, ...) to review before the next lectures.

@ArnaudDeza did you address?

LGTM as the lecture placeholder before the written chapter. So merging.
