math/geometry text overlaps

[Darksonn]

I tried compiling the pdf using make kactl but the text in the math/geometry part of the pdf is broken as seen below. I am compiling on arch linux with pdflatex 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.20.

The table in 6.2.1 also overlaps with the title for section 6.2.2 binomial, but otherwise I don't see any issues.

Yeah, somehow that part of the pdf is prone to screwing up when things change size e.g. because of different LaTeX packages. It's some bug in multicol that comes up in relation to illustrations, I think... but I'm not good enough with LaTeX to understand why or how to fix/work around it, so so far I've just tried to keep section sizes down to avoid the problem.

PRs accepted if you figure something out or find a reasonable work-around. :/ If it's just for local use you could cut some of the trigonometry section out.

+1 in this exact same part, which I suspect is to do with the image. If I have some time at some point, I'll dig into it.

Although it doesn't seem to fix it completely, the following patch seems to improve it alot:

Thanks for the note, @tyilo. I committed that change at 390bc16. It seems to improve the display marginally on my system as well.

I cannot seem to be able to fix this. The geometry section seems fine in my pdf.

Don't understand why but this seems to fix it.
