I’ve posted a new article, this time outside the physics series. As the name suggests, it’s an overview of the relationship between the Riemann zeta function and the distribution of the primes, and my hope is that it’s readable to anyone who knows enough complex analysis to have seen the Residue Theorem but who might not know anything at all about analytic number theory. This article grew out of a series of lessons I put together for one of my tutoring students, and I really enjoyed learning the material well enough to write it. (By the way, I also currently have some openings for new students! Reach out by email if you’re interested.)

I am also finishing the final edits on a second quantum field theory post, which should be up pretty soon.
