“Writings” by Uwe Lück

Science: This site once started presenting two scientific papers of mine, from my work on a doctoral thesis, on philosophical and psychological aspects of interval orders, a mathematical concept (theory of measurement). One of these papers was published in 2006.

History: However, a grant for the thesis ended without the thesis being finished; so I had to work on other fields, fortunately they fitted my interests as well and led to other publications of mine or to which I contributed. The new focus was history: history of proof theory, of logic, of set theory, of astronomy. I became engaged in critical editions and in software to typeset them. In April 2010, this has lead me to Worms University of Applied Sciences.

TeX: This especially meant that I developped an own TeX macro package for typesetting critical editions. In connection with a publication on typesetting critical editions with TeX, I took over maintenance of another macro package with more general application. This encouraged me to “write” and release further TeX macro packages, and I have spent some time with answering questions from other TeX users. In 2009, I started reworking, extending, and documenting the LaTeX macro package of a US-based science publishing company.
