Several of the images are broken links. Perhaps an example of Muphry's Law?

Should be fixed now. First time hearing about Muphry's Law, definitely gave me a chuckle!

Works now. I do very little writing that requires math, although I did have occasion to present Muller’s Recurrence for a discussion on floating point arithmetic. The tip "Expressions Should Be Punctuated Like Sentences" is a good one, and generalizes somewhat to inline code or any inline figure or table in writing.

I knew that, was just playing the joke back. I guess it misfired. Or maybe not.

Refreshing might help (my guess is it might be due to img fallback issue), thanks for flagging this and I'll be investigating!
