SCANNED ARTICLES
This section provides a scanned version of
those of my articles
which may not be available online, either because they were published
prior to the Internet era or published in non-academic periodicals.
The section also contains a few unpublished manuscripts.
Basically, there were 4 successive periods:
(i) 1968-1972: Particle physics
(ii) 1973-1982: Mathematical studies and transition to the social sciences
(iii) 1983-1995: Studies in the social sciences prior
to the introduction of econophysics as a new field of physics
(iv) 1996-2010: Studies in econophysics.
