Research direction
Start with _projects/dp-vol2.md in QuantEcon/website and inspect the book listing and asset paths before creating _projects/sargent-time-series.md and adding the cover. Review the linked Sargent repository for the theorem, proof, exercise, solution, and figure work, and confirm presentation details with Tom. Done means the card is live with a working link and the directive/figure PRs are opened or their rejection is recorded.

Description
Part of #362. Requested by Tom in #361.
Book
Linear Time Series — Thomas J. Sargent. Jupyter Book v1 site at https://thomassargent30.github.io/sargent-time-series/intro.html, source at thomassargent30/sargent-time-series. Self-hosted from Tom's GitHub account; quantecon.org links out.
Tasks
List on quantecon.org/books (QuantEcon/website; shape per _projects/dp-vol2.md)
- Add
_projects/sargent-time-series.md(type: book; likely notcategory: quanteconsince this is Tom's own book — confirm) - Add cover to

orderandnew: true
Presentation pickups (PRs against Tom's repo, with his agreement)
- Theorems, proofs and exercises currently plain prose — move to
{prf:theorem}/{prf:proof}/{exercise}/{solution}(sphinx-proof, sphinx-exercise) - Add figures illustrating key ideas (impulse responses, spectral densities, Wold decompositions); AI-assisted generation is a good fit here — agree with Tom which ideas to illustrate
