According to his nomination:
Ryan Williams has proven to be an exceptional math student. Among his
accomplishments: being a three year qualifier for the USAMO (United
States Mathematics Olympiad), the Florida State Calculus Champion
for the past two years, the Florida Mathematics League individual
champion for 2003-2004, the 2003 Mu Alpha Theta National Champion on "The
Number: e". In addition, he helped guide the school's computer team to first place at
an ACM competition. On the University of Miami's David Essner Exam, he
got the first perfect score in the 30 year history of the test.
Ryan also is an eager teacher of mathematics. Over the summer, he organized and held advanced mathematics seminars at his home for high school and middle school students. During the regular school year, he met twice a week with 7th and 8th graders from the middle school, where he taught them geometry.
Ryan will be attending Stanford University in the Fall.
