Handbook of Writing for the Mathematical Sciences

The subject of mathematical writing has been infused with life once again by Nick Higham as he follows up his successful HWMS volume with this much-anticipated second edition. As is Higham's style, the material is enlivened by anecdotes, unusual paper titles, and humorous quotations. This handy new volume provides even more information on the issues you will face when writing a technical paper or talk, from choosing the right journal in which to publish to handling your references. Its overview of the entire publication process is invaluable for anyone hoping to publish in a technical journal. The original book has been completely revised, making use of feedback from readers as well as Higham's own large file of ideas based on his experiences in reading, writing, editing, examining, and supervising theses.

Nicholas J. Higham is Richardson Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Manchester in England. He is the 1999 recipient of the Junior Whitehead Prize given by the London Mathematical Society in recognition of his contributions to the field of numerical linear algebra. Professor Higham is the author of more than 60 publications and is an editor of the IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis, Linear Algebra and Applications, and the SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications.
