A Primer of Mathematical Writing: Being a Disquisition on Having Your Ideas Recorded, Typeset, Published, Read, and Appreciated 2nd Edition by Steven G. Krantz (PDF)

Description

This is the second edition of a book originally published in 1997. Today the internet virtually consumes all of our lives (especially the lives of writers). As both readers and writers, we are all aware of blogs, chat rooms, and preprint servers. There are now electronic-only journals and print-on-demand books, Open Access journals and joint research projects such as MathOverflow–not to mention a host of other new realities. It truly is a brave new world, one that can be overwhelming and confusing. 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.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review 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. –ChoiceWell 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. –European Mathematical Society NewsletterEvery aspiring author of mathematics should have this book. –Paul J. Campbell, Mathematics Magazine About the Author Steven G. Krantz, Washington University, St. Louis, MO.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I enjoyed reading this book. I teach math, and I confess am a somewhat traditional teacher. I found this book supported what I do in the class, which I needed at the time. It have many useful suggestions for how students think about and respond to learning math, which I found useful in that they are beautifully organized. It makes defending my approach much easier to just be able to use what he says…

⭐If you are new to the field, you can learn a lot. There’s (opinionated, but helpful) information on writing everything from letters of recommendation and c.v.’s to books — all of which Krantz has done.

⭐Excellent basic advice on writing papers and books. A couple of threads are getting a bit out of date; a new edition would be great.

⭐Ok minimal ref for the Math author

⭐A+

⭐I was delivered an old book. But it is in readable condition.
