On this page I collect links to useful webpages, nice people, and other things.
Software
- See my GitHub for a few programming projects I’ve made publicly available.
- For typesetting, I can very much recommend Typst (over LaTeX). See my former blog post on this.
- For making the pictures in my posts, I use the amazing software Inkscape, together with my Wacom Pen Tablet (Intuos M).
- If you want to insert LaTeX/Typst formulas into Inkscape, use TexText.
- For writing digitally (online lectures, slides, …), I use Xournal++ with my Wacom tablet, but I’ve heard nowadays people use Rnote.
- As a Computer Algebra System, I recommend SageMath.
- For reading PDFs, Sioyek can be helpful (though it has minor bugs).
- When you ask people to sign contracts/waivers, consider DocuSeal.
- If you want to create encrypted file backups, have a look at Restic and Borg and Kopia.
- If you are then looking for place for the backups, check out rsync.net, they have special offers for Restic and Borg users, see here and here.
Conferences / Programs / Meetings
If you are looking for the old arithmetic geometry conference list, this is now here.
People
- Siddharth Setlur is a friend of mine with whom I have (re)build the Zurich Undergraduate Colloquium in Mathematics and Physics.
- Julian Lyczak is an amazing advisor, who taught me about the Brauer-Manin obstruction during my internship at IST Austria.
- William Dudarov is an amazing guy I’ve met at PCMI 2022.
