Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning — Exercise Solutions

This repository contains my personal solutions to exercises from Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Christopher M. Bishop.

Overview

I solve exercises chapter by chapter and keep each solution as a separate LaTeX file. Each chapter has:

• src/ for .tex solution files (for example 1.1.tex, 1.2.tex)
• pdf/ for compiled output PDFs

Repository Structure

.
├── Introduction/
│   ├── src/

├── template.tex

Solution Template

template.tex is a minimal solution template that includes:

• exercise ID placeholder (exercise-id)
• book name and author
• my name as author

Build & Workflow

The project uses make to create solution files and compile PDFs.

• make list
  Show detected chapter folders.

• make new-exercise CHAPTER=<ChapterName> EXERCISE=<id>
  Create CHAPTER/src/<id>.tex from template.tex.

• make new CHAPTER=<ChapterName> EXERCISE=<id>
  Alias for new-exercise.

• make chapter CHAPTER=<ChapterName>
  Build all .tex files in one chapter.

• make build (or make run)
  Build all chapter solutions.

• make clean
  Remove LaTeX auxiliary files.

• make clean-all
  Remove auxiliary files and generated PDFs.

Example

Create and compile a new solution in Introduction:

1. make new-exercise CHAPTER=Introduction EXERCISE=1.2
2. Edit Introduction/src/1.2.tex
3. make chapter CHAPTER=Introduction

Notes

• The build system tries latexmk first and falls back to pdflatex.
• PDFs are intentionally kept in the repository.
