What is group of french writers and mathematicians?

One renowned group of French writers and mathematicians is the Oulipo, also known as the Workshop of Potential Literature. It was founded in 1960 by mathematician François Le Lionnais and writer Raymond Queneau. Its members included mathematicians such as Claude Berge and Jacques Roubaud, as well as writers Georges Perec and Italo Calvino.

The Oulipo aimed to create literature using constrained writing techniques based on mathematical principles and algorithms. Their works often employed constrained writing methods such as lipograms (writing that intentionally omits one or more letters), palindromes (writing that reads the same backward as forward), and anagrams (writing that rearranges the letters of a word or phrase).

The Oulipo also had a significant impact on fields beyond literature, such as computer science, linguistics, and game theory. Their innovative approach to writing has influenced generations of writers, and their commitment to combining creativity and mathematics is still inspiring today.
