      <description>This is the first note on this website. This document was originally written in Org-mode , which is note-taking software that forms a part of the text editor GNU Emacs . HTML export of this post was done using the static site generator Hugo . Hugo is natively capable of exporting org-mode to HTML thanks to go-org . Most of this note describes the Org mode file that was used to generate the note.</description>

      <description>My research is in the area of analytic number theory . Consider the problem of calculating $\pi(x)$ for a given positive number $x$, where $\pi(x)$ denotes the number of prime numbers not exceeding $x$1. While there exist exact formulas2 for $\pi(x)$, they are computationally infeasible when $x$ is large. Therefore, it is desirable to approximate $\pi(x)$ using simpler quantities.
 In 1896, Jacques Hadamard and Charles Jean de la Vallée Poussin independently proved the prime number theorem , which roughly states that $\frac{x}{\log(x)}$ is a good approximation of $\pi(x)$ for large values of $x$, where $\log$ denotes the natural logarithm.</description>

      <description>I am a computer programming enthusiast, and I have extensive experience in this area. Specifically, I have made pseudoterminal-related contributions to util-linux , *BSD libc, and CPython .
 This responsive website is generated using a static site generator called Hugo combined with a custom theme that I wrote. Individual articles and pages such as this one are authored using Org-mode of GNU Emacs . Please read my article for more details.</description>
