mathematics student. The book begins with an informal introduction on basic writing principles
and a review of the essential dictionary for mathematics. Writing techniques are developed
gradually from the small to the large: words phrases sentences paragraphs to end with
short compositions. These may represent the introduction of a concept the abstract of a
presentation or the proof of a theorem. Along the way the student will learn how to establish a
coherent notation mix words and symbols effectively write neat formulae and structure a

aspects of thesis writing (choosing of a title composing an abstract compiling a
bibliography) illustrated by large number of real-life examples. Many exercises are included
over 150 of them have complete solutions to facilitate self-study.Mathematical Writing will be
