## Book Review: Two Books on Analytic Number Theory

Analytic number theory is the application of methods from analysis to the study of integers, in particular primes. This may seem paradoxical: at the heart of analysis lie notions of continuity and differentiability — and what could be more discrete and discontinuous than the set of primes?

## Markdown and Mathjax

I came across an unexpected problem when using Mathjax in a Markdown document (to be used with the Hugo site generator).

## Getting Mathjax to Work With Hugo

Getting Hugo to work with Mathjax (or vice versa) to create these pages took a little bit of fiddling and some trial-and-error.

## Euler's Product

Everyone knows Euler’s famous identity, linking the imaginary unit to trigonometric functions:

$$\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} \pi} = -1$$

But another remarkable identity is also due to Euler, this one linking the set of prime numbers to an analytical function:

## Database Normalization

This article attempts to give an approachable introduction to the topic of database normalization and to the five Normal Forms.

## Hugo: Afterthoughts

Having managed to produce this site using the Hugo static site generator, it’s time to reflect and collect my impressions.

## How Has Software Development Changed?

A survey published by O’Reilly regarding the state of the tech industry made me reflect how the field has changed since the dot-com boom (and bust) — that is, in the last 20 years, which really constitute the Internet Age and the Modern Software Era so far.

## Hugo Templates and Other Features

The Hugo static site generator takes some plain-text content, marries it to a bunch of HTML templates, and produces a set of complete, static HTML pages that can be served by any generic, stand-alone web server. It selects templates based on the type of the content, and its position in the filesystem.
