Description
Book SynopsisAs both readers and writers, we are all aware of blogs, chat rooms, and preprint servers. The truly new feature of this second edition is an extensive discussion of technological developments. Similar to the first edition, Krantz's frank and straightforward approach makes this book particularly suitable as a textbook for an undergraduate course.
Trade ReviewEvery aspiring author of mathematics should have this book." — Paul J. Campbell,
Mathematics MagazineReviews and Endorsements of the First Edition:
"Krantz, a prolific and distinguished mathematical author, discourses engagingly (yet seriously) on the art and etiquette of virtually all types of writing an academic mathematician is likely to encounter ... Grammatical points, stylistic and typesetting issues, and the correct and effective use of mathematical notation are handled deftly and with good humor ... [Hopefully] senior faculty will consider it mandatory reading for graduate students and even upper-division undergraduates. An enjoyable way to learn some fundamentals of good mathematical writing. Highly recommended." —
CHOICE"Well written in a lively style and will be found useful by anybody who is aware of the power and significance of writing in the mathematical profession." —
