This magazine/website has some interesting ideas about sustainable design that I have tried to adopt. My site is designed with acessibility and low-bandwidth in mind. Let me know if it can be improved in any way!

My LaTeX setup

I use Emacs with AUCTeX . I use vim keybindings with evil-mode . My latex specific setup is below. I appreciate any feedback or tips!

(use-package latex
  :defer t
  :ensure auctex
  :hook ((LaTeX-mode . turn-on-reftex)
          (LaTeX-mode . display-line-numbers-mode)
          ;;(LaTeX-mode . (lambda () (TeX-fold-buffer)))
          ;;idk why this doesn't work but I added it manually in the :config
          ;;section
          )
  :config
  (evil-define-key 'normal TeX-source-correlate-map (kbd "RET") 'TeX-view)
  (add-hook 'TeX-after-compilation-finished-functions
            #'TeX-revert-document-buffer)
  (add-to-list 'safe-local-variable-values ;allows tikzexternalize to work
              '(TeX-command-extra-options . "-shell-escape"))
  (setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t)
  (setq TeX-source-correlate-start-server t ;Enables tex to pdf sync
          TeX-source-correlate-mode t
          TeX-parse-self t
          TeX-auto-save t))
(use-package evil-tex
  :ensure t
  :hook (LaTeX-mode . evil-tex-mode))

This website

My site is made with Hugo using a custom theme patterned off of karthinks.com and the hugo cactus theme .

Springer GTM Test

If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be Frank Warner’s Foundations of Differentiable Manifolds and Lie Groups.

I give a clear, detailed, and careful development of the basic facts on manifold theory and Lie Groups. I include differentiable manifolds, tensors and differentiable forms. Lie groups and homogenous spaces, integration on manifolds, and in addition provide a proof of the de Rham theorem via sheaf cohomology theory, and develop the local theory of elliptic operators culminating in a proof of the Hodge theorem. Those interested in any of the diverse areas of mathematics requiring the notion of a differentiable manifold will find me extremely useful.

KaTeX

This is a way of providing support for LaTeX equations on your website. It’s faster than MathJax and is built for more server-side rendering which makes pages load faster for users.

I also appreciate the copy-tex extension. This makes you copy the underlying LaTeX code when you go to copy the equation. Try it out here:

\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-x^2} \, \mathrm{d}x = \sqrt \pi

You can even copy pieces (like $x$ ) with the text before and after the equation.

If your website uses the more popular MathJax but you want this easy-copying functionality I wrote a quick script that does the same for MathJax.
