Mathematical Writing CS209. Mathematical Writing—
Mathematical WritingbyDonald E. Knuth, Tracy Larrabee, and Paul M. RobertsThis report is based on a course of the same name given at Stanford University duringautumn quarter, 1987. Here s the catalog description:CS 209. Mathematical Writing Issues of technical Writing and the ef-fective presentation of mathematics and computer science. Preparation of theses,papers, books, and literate computer programs. A term paper on a topic ofyour choice; this paper may be used for credit in another first three lectures were a minicourse that summarized the basics. About twohundred people attended those three sessions, which were devoted primarily to a discussionof the points in 1 of this report. An exercise ( 2) and a suggested solution ( 3) were alsopart of the remaining 28 lectures covered these and other issues in depth. We saw manyexamples of before and after from manuscripts in progress. We learned how to avoidexcessive subscripts and superscripts. We discussed the documentation of algorithms, com-puter programs, and user manuals.
replaced by “blah” or some other grunting noise. 14. Don’t use the same notation for two different things. Conversely, use consistent nota-tion for the same thing when it appears in several places. For example, don’t say “A j for 1 ≤ j ≤ n” in one place and “A k for 1 ≤ k ≤ n” in another place unless there is a good reason.
