Workshop Description

Mathematical writing aims to use mathematics as a primary means for expression, deduction, and communication of ideas. Naturally, it calls for an effective blending of two languages: one natural (in our case, English), the other mathematical. In this workshop, we will discuss some essential elements of mathematical writing. Anyone who is interested in the effective presentation of mathematics in his/her discipline is welcome.
