The source document is an OpenOffice document and it is the .odt file
that is in the same directory as the .pdf file.

All the calculations are done in a Sage notebook and I just copy
source code and the results to OpenOffice as needed.  OpenOffice has a
Latex -> png converter macro that I used to copy over Latex code and
it has a mathematics notation editor that I used to create the various
equations.

The reason I used OpenOffice for the newbies book is that it is
targeted at high school students and teachers and I wanted them to be
able to copy content from the newbies book to their own documents.
Most of these people use Microsoft office and are comfortable with
software like this.  If they do not want to use OpenOffice
specifically, it is able to save documents in Word format too :-)
