Mathematics
If you're looking for my professional Web site, it is
elsewhere. My main math
page (first link in the list that follows) on this site is no
longer maintained for the time being, so it is quite out of date,
but it still has some possibly interesting links.
The following list is incomplete.

Texts I wrote (in whole or in part)
In principle, they should all be listed on my main literary works page. Actually, there may
be omissions.
Gratuitous literary
fragments
—maybe I should explain what I mean by that: they
are very short text fragments which make sense, but give the feeling
that they beling to a larger whole, except that there is none. So
they typically (but not always) begin and end quite abruptly and might
leave you with that annoying hey! I'd like to read more
feeling. I wrote a number of those on my blog (some in French and some in
English): they are all collected here in HTML
format and here typeset in
PDF.- The short stories of the writing circle of which I
am the editor, on the subject
The story must start with the death

same one.

circle (which I co-edited but which I did not participate in), on
the subjet Write a story in which the reader will make an implicit
assumption which will be revealed as false in the last
paragraph.

then, are a bunch of pages on just about anything, and the categories
are only—temptative.

something:
Philosophy (?)
Art (?)
Humor (?)
Linguistics
