Thanks a lot for this effort! As someone wanting to learn physics from a math background, this seems to be at the right level for discussing critical high-level ideas mathematically. The article format is great as I get distracted reading book-length treatments whether they are written by physicists or mathematicians.

If you have a Patreon or similar account, let us know!

PS: The Rieman zeta function page seems to be missing a few enclosing tags leading to non-typeset latex formulae after "This gives us a nice way to pick out terms from a Dirichlet series..." and also after the Von Mangoldt function.

What a sweet idea! I don't have a Patreon at the moment but if I get around to making one I'll definitely post it on the website.

I appreciate the heads up about the typesetting --- it looks like it's due to some macros that the web-based TeX typesetter I'm using hasn't implemented. I usually go over the PDF versions more carefully than the automatically generated web versions, and I guess this is the price I pay.

EDIT: Should be fixed now!

(Looks like I can no longer edit my last message, so including this as a separate reply.) You've successfully nudged me into making a PayPal donation link, which you can find right here: https://nicf.net/donate/. I do very much appreciate the kind words.
