I'm an academic mathematician; feel free to ask me particular questions. Two column format is not typical in mathematics; here is an example of one of my papers, with formatting is highly typical for my field: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.00541.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.00541.pdf I'd say that I do value aesthetics; I like this look, for the same reason that I appreciate HN's look and feel. It is simple, functional, and to the point. Personally I dislike most of the trends in web design. The web feels increasingly designed by marketers who apparently want to measure or guide how I browse their sites -- rather than by someone who just wants to provide me useful information in an attractive and organized fashion. For example here is the current website for the University of Wisconsin's mathematics department https://math.wisc.edu/ https://math.wisc.edu/ and here is the 2004 version: https://web.archive.org/web/20040619085511/http://www.math.wisc.edu/ https://web.archive.org/web/20040619085511/http://www.math.w... I prefer the old one.
