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 :
- Tips for authors and what to avoid when trying to use standard English in mathematics 's
- Ratschläge für einen schlechten Redner (also applicable to talks and lectures in mathematics) :
- hot take on writing. (I disagree with both his points, maybe I'm just old-fashioned.) 's
