Mathematical Writing W14/15
to Whiteboard Site

Description
Expressing mathematical thoughts in a way that is pleasant to follow for the reader is difficult. In this hands-on seminar, we practice the skills that are necessary to achieve this ambitious goal. We will look at mathematical writings from various sources. The audience can also bring their own samples. By studying different ways of expressing the same contents, we will become aware of what makes good writing. We will discuss various rules and guidelines for good writing that have been proposed in the literature. Topics include the logical structure of arguments, good language style, choice of notation, algorithms, and also the design of slides for presentation.
