How can one delete their own comments here ?

[Unfortunately this is not possible, but if you send me a request to delete a comment, either by email or on this blog, then I should be able to take care of it. - T.]

I have watched your youtube videos about Structure and Randomness in the Prime Numbers, over and over again. I learned from them about the von Mangoldt function and the connection to the zeta zeros via the Fourier transform.

The solution he gives to the equation Reduce[Exp[Exp[u]] + 1 == 0,u] is not categorically wrong as they do appear to satisfy the equation, but the paper would be easier to read if he used the correct solution.

To the down-voter: if you know what is wrong with the proof, please explain.

In case the question is still open (perhaps unlikely after all these years), here is a solution to aligning equations within wordpress. Rather than using the array environment, which requires you to specify up front how many columns there will be, you can you can use the “aligned” environment; aligned appears to behave much like the familiar “align” environment. For instance,
\begin{aligned}
x \cdot y
&= y \cdot x && \text{(from commutativity of } \cdot \text{)} \\
&= e \cdot x \cdot y && \text{(since } e \text{ is the identity element)}
\end{aligned}
yields
\begin{aligned} x \cdot y &= y \cdot x && \text{(from commutativity of } \cdot \text{)} \\ &= e \cdot x \cdot y && \text{(since } e \text{ is the identity element)}\end{aligned}

It renders actual text as opposed to generating tons of images. I use it on my WordPress blog through the MathJax-LaTeX plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mathjax-latex/).

I just wanted to say hi and I wanted to ask you if you can write Chinese. (lol). It said in a biography that you couldn’t. Me either. (I’m Cantonese. 11 yrs. old, and i can’t write it either.) I absolutely LOVE math! ~Ashley
