Adds Simon Scheidegger's Deep Learning for Solving and Estimating Dynamic Models in Economics and Finance to the /books page as a community book.

The card links to the MyST MD version at sischei.github.io/Deep_Learning_for_Solving_And_Estimating_Dynamic_Economic_Models. Source repo: https://github.com/sischei/Deep_Learning_for_Solving_And_Estimating_Dynamic_Economic_Models

Images

The cover comes from the source repo's assets/hero and is stored twice:

file dimensions size use
deep-learning-cover.png 1055×1491 361 KB full cover, archived
deep-learning-thumb.png 300×424 40 KB referenced by the card, which renders at 100px wide

Both are re-encoded to a 256-colour palette — visually indistinguishable at these sizes, and it takes the full cover from 2.0 MB down to 361 KB. Pointing the card at the small file follows the quantmfr pattern rather than the multi-hundred-KB originals that dp and networks still reference.

Ordering

Inserted at order: 3 so the three books flagged new: true group at the top of the grid. That bumps Dynamic Programming Volume I to 4 and Economic Networks to 5; no other content changes to those entries.

Notes

Two things worth a look from a reviewer:

  • The books layout wraps each whole card in a single <a>, so there is no way to add a second link to the GitHub source repo without nesting an anchor. The card links only to the MyST site. Adding a source link would need a layout change.
  • This cover is portrait (0.71 aspect) where the other four book images are square, so its card renders slightly taller than its row neighbour. It looks fine in a local build, but it is a visible difference from the existing set.

Verified with a local bundle exec jekyll build and a headless screenshot of /books/: the entry renders third, with the NEW badge and the correct thumbnail.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Adds Simon Scheidegger's graduate lecture script to the /books page as a
community book, linking to the MyST MD version hosted at
sischei.github.io. Source repo:
github.com/sischei/Deep_Learning_for_Solving_And_Estimating_Dynamic_Economic_Models

The cover is taken from the repo's assets/hero and stored twice: the full
1055x1491 cover, and a 300px-wide thumbnail that the card actually
references (the card renders it at 100px). Both are re-encoded to a
256-colour palette, which is visually indistinguishable at these sizes and
takes the full cover from 2.0 MB to 361 KB.

Inserted at order 3 so the three books flagged new group together, which
bumps Dynamic Programming Volume I to 4 and Economic Networks to 5.

Pull request overview

Adds a new community book entry to the Jekyll projects collection so it appears on the site’s /books/ grid, and reorders existing books so the “NEW” items remain grouped at the top.

Changes:

  • Added a new _projects/deep-learning.md book entry (community category) linking to the MyST-rendered site and using the new thumbnail image.
  • Adjusted order for existing book entries to accommodate the new item while keeping “new: true” books at the top of the sorted grid.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 3 out of 5 changed files in this pull request and generated no comments.

File Description
_projects/deep-learning.md Introduces the new community book metadata (title/authors/description/link/image/order/new flag) for rendering on /books/.
_projects/dp.md Bumps order from 3 → 4 to make room for the new book in the sorted list.
_projects/networks.md Bumps order from 4 → 5 to preserve ordering after insertion of the new book.

Implements jstac's suggestion in #253: Volume II has been out long enough
to take off its NEW badge, Simon Scheidegger's Deep Learning book moves to
the top-left slot, and the two Dynamic Programming volumes now sit together
on the second row of the 2-column grid, Volume I on the left and Volume II
on the right.

Resulting order: Deep Learning (1, new), Quant Macro Finance (2, new),
DP Volume I (3), DP Volume II (4), Economic Networks (5).
