Hello, my name is Tyson Williams. I have a PhD in theoretical computer science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After graduating, I went into industry as a software engineer. You can follow me around the internet by starting with my about.me page.

1,600+This user has made more than 1,600 contributions to Wikipedia.

5	This user has created 5 of Wikipedia's 6,813,899 articles.

This user has contributed 34 images to Wikipedia and Commons.

On Wikipedia, I tend to make content changes to mathematics and computer science pages and minor changes to others.

At the moment, my favorite thing to do is create high quality SVG files in LaTeX for Wikipedia articles.

Pages

Started

Full Articles

• BHT algorithm
• FKT algorithm
• Absorbing Markov chain
• Medial graph

Stubs

• Johnson graph

Major Improvements

• Holographic algorithm

Images

• Images I have created

I enjoy making images for Wikipedia because they can be infinitely better than words at conveying material but are much harder contribute. Please let me know if you have a suggestion for a computer science article that could use a good image.

Using Q-circuit, I created many quantum circuit diagrams.

LaTeX to SVG

• Compile the LaTeX into a PDF
• Crop the PDF using pdfcrop
• Convert the PDF into an SVG using pdf2svg

LaTeX to Animated GIF

After following the LaTeX to SVG steps...

• Coalesce the images together using ImageMagick.
