I am a førsteamenuensis (UK: lecturer, US: assistant/associate professor) in the Department of Mathematics at the Norwegian University for Science and Technology. I work in both differential and algebraic topology, both of which require that I use some category theory from time to time. I am also extremely interested in how best to use technology to help us do mathematics, particularly in the purer ends of mathematics where the obvious computational uses are not so useful.
For the 2012/2013 academic year I am on sabbatical based at Oxford.

Curve through a sequence of points with Metapost and TikZ @Blair It's all in one package. And the fact that it is uses LaTeX3 doesn't mean that you as the user do anything different. It can be used in a normal LaTeX2e document without modification. You're probably already using some LaTeX3 stuff without realising it. |

Can I create a node list from some text entirely within lua? This gets me the list of nodes as an external file. I guess you meant for me to be able to read those back in via lua to recreate the node list so that I could use it in my lua code. This isn't practical in my particular case as I want to build up a large list of these lists to manipulate. However, as I'm new to luatex then I'll learn from looking at your code so thank you. |

Styling every node without affecting coordinate styles Is above really cumulative? |

A list of pairs in pgfkeys Take a look at tex.stackexchange.com/q/85637/86 The problem is that \xvalue isn't being expanded early enough. |

Create custom node to draw this Subpictures inside nodes are prone to problems. Search here for "nested tikzpicture"! An alternative would be to draw the inner nodes and then "fit" a larger node around them. |

What is the nodename.number in the following example? @Jubobs It's in 13.2.3, with a bit more detail of the underlying mechanism in 75.3 (version 2.10). |

Create custom node to draw this The bit that I think will be really difficult is automatically computing intersection coordinates with the boundary since each of the three circles will have to be computed in turn and then some method used to figure out which intersection point is the right one. |

How to print the permutation of {s,u,v,a,t} with LaTeX? @HendrikVogt I did my best to make the two sets of code produce the same output and ran them a few times under different conditions. For example, I added separator bit to your code from mine (which inserts a \par after every 120 permutations). I suspect that there's a fair amount of overhead in using L3 which I'm not going to be able to get rid of, but my current goal for programmatic questions is to do them in L3 to try to learn that a bit better. |

How can I add a big arrow? You could automate the height with a bit of tikzmark wizardry. Stick a mark in the bottom row and make the node so that it includes the mark (using the fit library). |

How to print the permutation of {s,u,v,a,t} with LaTeX? Just found a couple of edge cases: try permuting ab{cd} with yours and with mine; and try permuting ab\relax cd with yours! |

How to print the permutation of {s,u,v,a,t} with LaTeX? Minor streamlining, fixed to ensure that it doesn't unbrace tokens. |
