We describe Gargoyle, A detailed, fully verified exposition of a specific Borel set in [0,1] that is provably not F-sigma, written to be instructive rather than elegant.. Textbook proofs that there exist Borel sets which are not F-sigma typically appeal to abstract cardinality or Baire-category arguments, leaving the student without a concrete example to carry in memory.

We describe (Short Proof), A compact exposition-style write-up giving an elementary proof of the divergence of sum 1/p using only Euler's product and Abel summation.. Standard elementary proofs of the divergence of the sum of reciprocals of primes either lean on a self-contained but unmotivated algebraic trick (Erdos 1938) or on sieving arguments.
