Mathematician, short story writer, and children’s book author Didier Nordon, a professor at the University of Bordeaux I, has made a living of questioning received wisdom, and brings his idiosyncratic intellectual muckraking monthly to his column Bloc-Notes in the French edition of Scientific American, Pour la Science. Pour la Science has also brought out, among other works, the 1999 treatises Des cailloux dans les choses sûres and Deux et deux font-ils quatre? Sur la fragilité des mathématiques. His 2001 story collection Au cirque, whose characters included Einstein, Châteaubriand, and Proust appeared with L'Improviste, while his many children’s titles are published by Autrement Jeunesse’s Ratatouille imprint.
