Although several excellent articles and books on mathematical writing are available, no one makes a reference when questions about mathematical writing arise. By the present book, Nicholas J. Higham, author of more than 40 publications and editor of the SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, provides such a reference handbook. The emphasis is placed on mathematical writing, but many of the discussed points and issues are relevant to scientific writing in general. The author's notes prepared for ashort lecture course on mathematical writing, held at the University of Manchester in May 1992, matured into a book.
