Just a placeholder, until I figure out whether I'm actually encyclopedic or not. (Pretty sure I'm not, but it looks like user pages get special consideration.)

My infinitesimal Wikipedia career started with an appropriate whimper, when I took out an inaccurate paragraph about billiard balls from Flat Earth...

Mostly I'm just a good copy-editor, but I'm slowly building up a list of minor holes that need filling:

  • As a recovering math major, I'm thinking about contributing some plain-English explanations to articles like affine transformation -- since affine transformations are used for all kinds of things, and all you really need to understand them (in their most common applications) is high-school algebra.
  • I'll put together a short piece on chaos game at the same time.

You might get some vague idea of the kinds of things I'm interested in by looking at

rough calculations my favorite mountain

and maybe

Game of Life and Stable glider reflectors


-- but I can't guarantee anything. The picture will have near as many holes as the Wikipedia...

Though come to think of it, there is someone who has posted a large number of essays on his Web pages, whose interests are spookily almost identical to my own. So it turns out that I may just be an imperfect clone of someone in Boulder, Colorado. dvgrn 09:15, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
