Mathgen ======= Mathgen is a tool to randomly generate fake mathematics papers. Online version: http://thatsmathematics.com/mathgen/ Blog page: http://thatsmathematics.com/blog/mathgen/ Source code (Github): https://github.com/neldredge/mathgen Prerequisites ============= Mathgen was developed and tested on Ubuntu Linux. It should work on other flavors of Unix also. I have not tried other systems; if you have a reasonable Perl installation I would guess you should be okay, but I make no promises. To run Mathgen, you will need: - Perl - LaTeX - BibTeX - zip (for --mode=zip) You will need the following LaTeX packages: - AMS-LaTeX - fullpage - mathrsfs - natbib - truncate If you want to produce books (--product=book), you will need the following additional LaTeX packages: - geometry - txfonts - hyphenat - textcase - hyperref - titlesec - makeidx - url - tocbibind You will also need the `makeindex' program. Running ======= The main Mathgen program is `mathgen.pl'. For a summary of options, run: $ ./mathgen.pl --help The current default behavior, if `mathgen.pl' is run without options, is to generate an article with one randomly generated author and view the output with `evince'. Examples ======== Generate an article with author "J. Doe" and view the output with xpdf: $ ./mathgen.pl --product=article --mode=view --author="J. Doe" --viewer=xpdf The same, but write the PDF to `mypaper.pdf': $ ./mathgen.pl --product=article --mode=pdf --author="J. Doe" --output=mypaper.pdf Give yourself a famous collaborator, and create a zip file with the source and PDF: $ ./mathgen.pl --product=article --mode=zip --output=mypaper.zip --author="J. Doe" --author="P. Erd\H{o}s" Tip: To randomly generate an author's name, you can use `--author=FAMOUS_AUTHOR' or `--author=GENERIC_AUTHOR'. Generate a book: $ ./mathgen.pl --product=book --mode=pdf --output=mybook.pdf --author="J. Doe" Note that this may take a couple of minutes to generate and compile. Merchandising ============= As an unofficial fundraiser for the American Mathematical Society, I am selling randomly generated textbooks via Lulu.com. For more information, visit http://thatsmathematics.com/blog/mathgen-books/ US$5.00 from each sale will be donated to the AMS. I earn no other money from these books. Currently available titles: _Convex Algebra_ by E. Brown. Hardcover, 314 pages. _Higher Group Theory_ by H. Smith. Paperback, 351 pages. Each is professionally bound, looks impressive on your desk or bookshelf, and would make a great gift! You can also use Lulu.com (or another self-publishing site) to produce your own personalized Mathgen textbooks. The output from `--product=book' is set for 6x9 inch paper and should work directly for Lulu's "US Trade" size. Source code =========== A quick road map to the files in the source distribution: - mathgen.pl: Main driver file, processes options and disposes of output. - scigen.pm: The SCIgen grammar engine. Reads the rules files and generates the output. - scirules.in: Common grammar rules, included into the following files. - sci{article,book,blurb}.in: Grammar rules specific for the corresponding products. Credits ======= Mathgen was written by Nate Eldredge <nate at thatsmathematics dot com>, incorporating code from SCIgen (http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/), by Jeremy Stribling, Max Krohn, and Dan Aguayo, without whom this project would not exist. Jordan Eldredge wrote most of the web interface. A list of names of famous mathematicians, used in the program, was extracted from the web site The Greatest Mathematicians of All Time (http://fabpedigree.com/james/greatmm.htm) by James Dow Allen, and is used by permission. A list of countries and other place names was taken from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_adjectival_and_demonymic_forms_of_place_names) License ======= Mathgen is free software.
