Description

In Chapter 10 (Model Optimizations), the “Purpose” section is currently defined as a numbered section with an explicit anchor ID:

## Purpose {#sec-model-optimizations-purpose-9beb}

Suggested fix

Change to:

## Purpose {.unnumbered}

Location

quarto/contents/core/model_optimizations/model_optimizations.qmd — at the start of the chapter, below the cover image.

Notes

This is a minor formatting correction for consistency.
If confirmed, I’d be happy to open a PR to fix it.

P/S: I’m also a bit confused about the content in Self-Check: Question 10.1 — since the current 10.1 is the Purpose section, the question might not directly match its content.
I’ve checked the following sections and found no mismatch between their theories and related self-check questions.
So, I think either a section is missing, or the question is intentionally designed to encourage reader exploration.
I hope the author could clarify this part 😊

This is definitely a mistake. I need to fix it. I'm still waiting for my MacBook to come back from repair so once I have it, I will fix it and check the quizzes.

Thanks for catching this. I will write a pre commit check to catch this issue in the future.

Sure! Could you let me know when you get your MacBook back?
I’ll review and summarize all the small issues I’ve found into a single issue before then, so it’ll be easier for you to check later.
