A Primer of Mathematical Writing

This book is about writing in the professional mathematical environment. There are few people equal to this task, yet Steven Krantz is one who qualifies. While the book is nominally about writing, it's also about how to function in the mathematical profession. Those who are familiar with Krantz's writing will recognize his lively, inimitable style. In this volume, he addresses these nuts-and-bolts issues: syntax, grammar, structure, and style; mathematical exposition; use of the computer and T[subscript E]X; E-mail etiquette; and all aspects of publishing a journal article.
