Typographic advice: the body text has very long lines in a desktop browser, which makes it a bit slow and tiring to read. I’d say the ideal is somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 this length. I’d recommend keeping the same width on screen but bumping the font size up by 30%.
As an extra minor nit, italicizing functions like sin, etc. is also somewhat unconventional in mathematical typesetting.
- jph00 9y agoThanks for the advice!
- parrt 9y agoI agree that the font should be bigger. I need to learn more CSS in order to switch between font sizes per platform. The font of the text is easy but all of the images were generated from latex using a specific font size. I need to scale the in-line equation images as the font size bumps up.
- dbetteridge 9y agothe magic incantation here is probably media queries @media (max-width: 768px) { p { font-size: 1rem; } }
- parrt 9y agoWe have to also adjust the image sizes for the in-line equations. That’s what I need to figure out :)
- posterboy 9y agoit's a variable name for a polymorphic function, taylor series, euler formular, etc. depending on context. This is a significant difference to singular types, but being a variable name to an abstract concept is in principle no different to typesetting x. This goes neatly with "everything is an objectreference" and might be more of a programmer's perspective.
- jacobolus 9y agoIn mathematical notation it gets confusing because several italic letters in a row are otherwise interpreted as separate variables.
