Reading list
This is an incomplete list of things I have either read and wish to remember or intend to read in the future. It is intended primarily for my own use, although I suppose others could also benefit from parts of it. See also this list.

Mathematical writing
I definitely disagree with some of the statements made on the pages linked below. Still, I believe that following a large portion of these guidelines leads to mathematical texts that are, at the very least, not unpleasant to read. In particular, anyone writing a Bachelor or Master thesis is encouraged to read these tips and think about them.- : Practical suggestions for mathematical writing
- : The Grammar According to West
- 's Tips for authors and what to avoid when trying to use standard English in mathematics
- : Ratschläge für einen schlechten Redner (also applicable to talks and lectures in mathematics)
- 's hot take on writing. (I disagree with both his points, maybe I'm just old-fashioned.)
