Most academic writers, however, appear to do one or more of the following in their introductions: establish the context, background and/or importance of the topicpresent an issue, problem, or controversy in the field of studydefine the topic and/or key terms used in the paperstate the purpose of the essay or short paperprovide an overview of the coverage and/or structure of the writing Slightly less complex introductions may simply inform the reader: what the topic is, why it is important, and how the writing is organised. In very short assignments, it is not uncommon for a writer to commence simply by stating the purpose of their writing. Introductions to research dissertations and theses tend to be relatively short compared to the other sections of the text but quite complex in terms of their functional elements. A number of analysts have identified common patterns in the introductions of research articles.

The suggested collection of mathematical folklore might be enjoyable for mathematicians and for students because every joke contains a portion of truth or lie about our profession.
The selected jokes and sayings contain something essential about mathematics, the mathematical way of thinking, or mathematical pop-culture.We have slightly edited and systematized selected jokes, and added a few new ones. We are concerned that publication of sacral lecture jokes may endanger the respect to math. teachers in freshmen classes. 0042_01 – Technische Universität Darmstadt. Knuth mathematical writing.

Generalizations of Multidimensional Continued Fractions: Tetrahedron and k-Dimensional Emmanuel Howard Daring The decimal and continued fraction expansions of a number are periodic if and only if the number is rational or a quadratic irrational, respectively.
Multidimensional continued fractions aim to replicate this property with different types of irrational numbers, partitioning a triangle to produce a periodic sequence if the coordinates of the point the sequence describes are at worst cubic irrationals in the same number field. Department Dissertation Abstracts » Mathematics & Statistics. Abstract Exercise 1. Thinking about abstracts. Use the introduction to “sell” the key points of your paper. A rule to live by: I won’t use anything I can’t explain in five minutes.
(Philip Crosby) Every now and then as editor, I see an author upset at a rejection of a paper because the referee “clearly did not grasp the key point of the paper”. In many cases this is because the key point is not stated prominently enough in the introduction, instead being buried in a footnote, an obscure remark, a lemma, or even not explicitly mentioned at all.

The Cornell University Library Historical Math Monographs collection comprises selected monographs with expired copyrights chosen from the mathematics field.
The majority of these monographs were physically brittle, decaying, and in need of rescue. They were digitally scanned, and facsimile editions were created on acid-free paper. Between 1990 and 1992, Cornell University and Xerox Corporation, with the support of the Commission on Preservation and Access, collaborated on a pilot project to test advanced technology for scanning deteriorating books, optical storage, and production of high quality paper copies. The College Library Access and Storage System Project (CLASS) generated 600 dpi images and produced facsimiles on acid-free paper. The image files are archivally managed. Almost all of the books are available as bound paperbacks and can be ordered directly from Amazon by clicking on the Amazon link, found on each book's Table of Contents page.
