If anyone is interested in number theory and would like to help some incarcerated people that are working on a number theory paper:

I'm a director of the Prison Math Project: http://prisonmathproject.org/

We have a few advanced mathematicians in jail who don't have access to computers. They need help with formatting their work in LaTeX and stuff like that to make it ready for publication (credit offered).

They have previously co-authored some papers from within jail eg

"Linear Fractional Transformations And Nonlinear Leaping Convergents Of Some Continued Fractions"

"Math And Art In Prison: A Collaborative Effort Across The Ocean"

please reach out if any interest in helping them.

Very interesting project. BTW the Photos link leads to a 404 error and a Hello world.
thanks and thanks for the headsup!
