These folders contain the LaTeX source for my talks. All talks use
LaTeX and the Beamer LaTeX class. All images are included, usually as
.png or .jpg files. Source material (e.g. .svg, GIMP .xcf,
LibreOffice .odg, Xfig .fig) are deposited for some images and
must be converted to PDF, png, or jpg.
See also the XAS Education github page.
PDF files of the talks can be found at SpeakerDeck.

To use the style files, the TEXINPUTS environment variable must be
set with a line like this either in the .bashrc file or at the
command line:
export TEXINPUTS=".:$HOME/TeX/XAS-Education/sty/:"
where $HOME/TeX would be replaced by the location of the local XAS-Education repository.
To use the copyright, author, and date file, put these in the main .tex file of a talk
\include{XX.tex} % where XX=(copyright|author|date)
The following are some of my favorite papers covering the ins and outs of advanced EXAFS analysis:
- Scott Calvin’s paper on analysis of doped ferrites
- Shelly Kelly’s uranium on biomass paper demonstrating the use of crystalline analogs
- My paper from the XAFS14 conference on Composing complex EXAFS problems with severe information constraints
- Eric Hudson’s paper relating SS and MS values for sigma^2
- Corwin Booth’s XAFS14 conference paper on error analysis
- My paper on A Practical Introduction to Multiple Scattering Theory
