🇬🇧 English

Systematic reading notes based on Sutton & Barto's Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction (2nd Edition), presenting core concepts, formula derivations, and intuitive explanations in professionally formatted Word documents.

📖 Current Progress

Notes	Chapters	Key Topics	Status
Ch1-6	Chapters 1–6	MDP · Bellman Equations · Q-learning · Policy Gradient	✅ Done

Note: The study notes (.docx) are currently in Chinese. An English translation is planned for future releases. However, all formulas and references to the original English textbook are preserved, making the document accessible to non-Chinese readers familiar with the source material.

🎯 Note Features

• Formula Blocks — Key equations presented in Courier New font on light blue backgrounds, with original textbook equation numbers
• Original Quotes — Key excerpts from the textbook preserved in English within orange-bordered callout boxes
• Comparison Tables — Dark blue header + zebra-striped two-column tables for method comparisons
• Intuitive Explanations — Every technical concept includes plain-language intuition, not just mathematical definitions

🔧 Generation Tool

Notes are auto-generated using the Node.js docx library. To run locally:

npm install
node generate_rl_doc.js

This workflow has also been packaged as a WorkBuddy skill called pdf-study-notes, enabling structured note generation from any PDF textbook.
