Question: What professor of mathematics authored the book Fashionable Nonsense?

full_context: Document 1: Fashionable Nonsense: Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science (French: "Impostures Intellectuelles" ), published in the UK as Intellectual Impostures, is a book by physicists Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont. Sokal is best known for the Sokal Affair, in which he submitted a deliberately absurd article to "Social Text", a critical theory journal, and was able to get it published.
Document 2: Paul Boghossian: Paul Boghossian is Silver professor of philosophy at New York University in the NYU Department of Philosophy, where he was Chair of the Department for ten years (1994–2004) and responsible for building it into one of the top philosophy programs in the world. His research interests include epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language. He is Director of the New York Institute of Philosophy and Distinguished Research Professor of Philosophy at the University of Birmingham.
Document 3: Pseudophysics: Pseudophysics is a pseudoscientific practice using the language of physics or discussing issues related to or pertinent to physics to promote ideas which are either incoherent or contradictory to known physics (experimental phenomenology). According to physicists, skeptics, and science writers, pseudophysics tends to be promoted by so-called "cranks", whose ideas lack peer review, lack falsifiable predictions, and/or blatantly contradict scientific facts and experimental results. Mathematical physicist John C. Baez famously invented a crackpot index to give an idea of what sort of claims and rhetoric were commonplace among pseudophysics proposals he had come across.
Document 4: Jason Rosenhouse: Jason Rosenhouse is an American author and professor of mathematics at James Madison University, where he was originally appointed an assistant professor in 2003. He became a full professor in 2014. His research focuses on algebraic graph theory, as well as analytic number theory. He currently runs the blog Evolution Blog at National Geographic's ScienceBlogs, where he frequently criticizes creationism, has contributed to the pro-evolution blog "The Panda's Thumb", and has also contributed to the Huffington Post about topics such as the Higgs boson, in addition to creationism.
Document 5: Satya N. Atluri: Satya Atluri is currently a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas Tech University. His research focuses upon the areas of aerospace and mechanics. His teaching and research interests are in the disciplinary areas of: computational mathematics; theoretical, applied, and computational mechanics of solids and fluids at various length and time scales; computer modeling in engineering and sciences; meshless and other novel computational methods; structural longevity, failure prevention, and health management.
Document 6: Alan Sokal: Alan David Sokal ( ; born January 24, 1955) is a professor of mathematics at University College London and professor of physics at New York University. He works in statistical mechanics and combinatorics. He is best known to the wider public for his criticism of postmodernism, after the Sokal affair in 1996 when his deliberately nonsensical paper was published by Duke University's "Social Text". He also works to counter faulty scientific reasoning, as seen with his involvement in criticising the critical positivity ratio concept in positive psychology.
Document 7: XCiTés: XCiTés: the Flamingo Book of New French Writing is an anthology edited by Georgia de Chamberet of French writing in translation which "aims to smash the stereotypes" by a new generation of writers who were unpublished in English at the time of publication (2000). The book includes stories by Frédéric Beigbeder, Mehdi Belhaj Kacem, Tonino Benacquista, Marie Desplechin, Ilan Duran Cohen, Agnès Desarthe, Virginie Despentes, Guillaume Dustan, Eric Faye, Michel Houellebecq, Mathieu Kassovitz, Mathieu Lindon, Mounsi, Lorette Nobécourt, Vincent Ravalec, Abdourahman Waberi. The INDEPENDENT said of it: "French society is diverse, richly multi-cultural - and the writing in this collection represents some of that diversity. If a writer is clearly wonderful - Abdourahman Waberi (originally from Djibouti) or Mounsi (Algerian) - then we want more. The last three inclusions - scenes from Mathieu Kassovitz's film La Haine, a piece on the house music scene by DJ Tov and an interview with Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly illustrate the point of this kind of new fiction which is to question traditional modes of publishing. The French are tired of their image."
Document 8: David Colquhoun: David Colquhoun, {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (born 19 July 1936) is a British pharmacologist at University College London (UCL). He has contributed to the general theory of receptor and synaptic mechanisms, and in particular the theory and practice of single ion channel function. He previously held the A.J. Clark chair of Pharmacology at UCL, and was the Hon. Director of the Wellcome Laboratory for Molecular Pharmacology. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1985 and an honorary fellow of UCL in 2004. Colquhoun runs the website "DC's Improbable Science", which is critical of pseudoscience, particularly alternative medicine, and managerialism. He was critical of Tim Hunt following the controversies of the 2015 World Conference of Science Journalists in Seoul.
Document 9: Uri Simonsohn: Uri Simonsohn is a social psychologist and an associate professor in the Operations, Information & Decisions Department (OIDD) at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He worked on a project on false positives, and found that the data that social psychologist Dirk Smeesters collected in his papers did not seem to be real. He later posted a paper in Social Science Research Network that described the statistical method he used to expose suspiciously looking data in the work of Dirk Smeesters and Lawrence Sanna. His investigation ultimately led Erasmus University Rotterdam to lead its own investigation, which led to Smeester's resignation. Lawrence Sanna, similarly, resigned in May 2012. His work on detecting fraudulent work on psychology and economics was featured in a podcast with Julia Galef.
Document 10: Crackpot index: The crackpot index is a number that rates scientific claims or the individuals that make them, in conjunction with a method for computing that number. The method, proposed semi-seriously by mathematical physicist John C. Baez in 1992, computes an index by responses to a list of 36 questions, each positive response contributing a point value ranging from 1 to 50. The computation is initialized with a value of −5.
Document 11: Simulacra and Simulation: Simulacra and Simulation (French: "Simulacres et Simulation" ) is a 1981 philosophical treatise by Jean Baudrillard, in which he seeks to examine the relationships among reality, symbols, and society.
Document 12: Edward Soja: Edward William Soja ( ; 1940–2015) was a self-described "urbanist," a noted postmodern political geographer and urban theorist on the planning faculty at UCLA, where he was Distinguished Professor of Urban Planning, and the London School of Economics. He had a Ph.D. from Syracuse University. His early research focused on planning in Kenya, but Soja came to be known as the world's leading spatial theorist with a distinguished career writing on spatial formations and social justice.
Document 13: The Dictionary of Fashionable Nonsense: The Dictionary of Fashionable Nonsense: A Guide for Edgy People is a 2006 book by Ophelia Benson and Jeremy Stangroom.
Document 14: Higher Superstition: Higher Superstition: The Academic Left and Its Quarrels with Science is a 1994 book by biologist Paul R. Gross and mathematician Norman Levitt.
Document 15: Teissier affair: The Teissier affair was a controversy that occurred in France in 2001. French astrologer Élizabeth Teissier was awarded a Doctorate in Sociology by Paris Descartes University for a doctoral thesis in which she argued that astrology was being oppressed by science. Her work was contested by the scientific community within the context of the science wars, and compared to the Sokal hoax. Criticisms included the alleged failure to work within the field of sociology and also lacking the necessary scientific rigour for a doctoral thesis in any scientific field. The university and jury who awarded the degree were harshly criticised, though both they and Teissier had supporters and defenders.
