nice work. I would have removed

most of 'PART 1: PHYSICAL CONSTANTS', 'PART 8: APPLIED FIELDS', 'PART 18: ELECTRICAL', and some of 'PART 99: CONVERSIONS'.

"all-in-one" math seems enough :). Other stuff seems arbitrary and leaning towards physics (which could have its own giant book).

Nice touch: 4.15 FERMAT’S LAST THEOREM: ... General case when n>2 was proved by Andrew Wiles (1994). The proof is too long to be written here. See: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~anindya/fermat.pdf

I actually can't tell if that was an intentional "margin" joke, or if the author is just bluntly stating a fact about Wiles' proof...

EDIT: Nope, probably intentional. The author doesn't say something similar for any other proof based on a quick CTRL+F :)

Not LaTeX; didn't read.

The first thing I look for in a math paper is whether the typesetting is up to TeX's standard. If it's not good enough, I'll just skim the text.

I'm not sure whether this pro-TeX prejudice is a good or bad thing...

I think the author's page (Alex Spartalis) deserves to be mentioned:

https://www.alexspartalis.com/cheat-sheet.html

He has the same version (v2.10) there and mentions that, "The Web version does not include the distribution functions due to file size restrictions. Email me if you would like a copy of these." That explains why pages 213-330 are missing. Someone should offer to upload the full copy to keybase.pub (or someplace) since his personal site can't handle the load.

People sometimes do tremendous work creating a program/book/artwork, and want the world to see it, but don't get around to really share it or promote it.

Fermat wrote that in the margin of his book Arithmetica that a proof existed, but there wasn’t space in the margin to write it. It took Wiles 385 years to find a proof, and it won’t fit in a margin. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat%27s_Last_Theorem

That’s the allure of the theorem; that a simple unknown proof may exist.

I have to admit it's a pretty ugly manual.

Some of those formulas were really blurry, while some of the tables spanned weirdly over pages.

The hosting issues could have been fixed as well if it was LaTeX as it would have been neat in a git repository.

Gitlab also has continuous integration for LaTeX
