Looks like the author was using Inkscape earlier but may have switched to something else recently. You can draw impressively beautiful diagrams in LaTeX with TikZ although it can be a lot of work to do so with TikZ which would make it difficult for live note taking.

I do the same thing (markdown and mathjax) but I use TeXMe (https://github.com/susam/texme). I like TeXMe a lot because it turns any Markdown and LaTeX notes into a self-rendering file. Just open your Markdown+LaTeX notes in any browser and it renders itself beautifully, almost looks like a paper.

It is not wysiwyg though. But for me the convenience of distributing my Markdown+LaTeX source itself that can render in any browser without a separate compilation/processing step is a huge win!

See https://github.com/susam/texme#get-started if you are curious how it works.

How is the set of real numbers seen as a vector space over the set of rational numbers.

If I take a real number like 2 it just looks like 2. I don't see it as a vector. Is 2 a vector? How?

As much as I find Git's all magic incantations difficult to master, I have to agree with your comment 100%.

Once you grok rebasing branches, git add, push, pull, bisect, rebase, log, commit --amend are all I have needed to work with Git and the experience has been far better than working with any other version control like SVN or Mercurial.
