Missing undergraduate mathematics in mathlib

This gives pointers to undergraduate maths topics that are currently missing in mathlib. The list is gathered from the French curriculum. There is also a page listing undergraduate maths topics that are already in mathlib.

If you want to work on an item from this list then you should first check the pull requests list to see whether it is already coming, then the issues list to see whether it is discussed there, and finally talk about this idea on Zulip.

To update this list, please submit a PR modifying docs/undergrad.yaml in the mathlib repository.
