This subpage of the Manual of Style contains guidelines for writing and editing clear, encyclopedic, attractive, and interesting articles on mathematics and for the use of mathematical notation in Wikipedia articles on other subjects.
For matters of style not treated on this subpage, follow the main Manual of Style and its other subpages to achieve consistency of style throughout Wikipedia. Structure[edit] Article introduction[edit] Articles should start with a short introductory section, called the "lead". The purpose of the lead is to describe and define the subject,provide context regarding the subject,and summarize the article's most important points.
The lead should, as much as possible, be accessible to a general reader, so specialized terminology and symbols should be avoided. In general, the lead sentence should include the article title, or some variation thereof, in bold along with any alternate names, also in bold. The lead section should include, when appropriate: Instead, write: Mathematics In Europe - How to write mathematical English. Details Category: Mathematics in foreign languages Common Errors to Avoid in Writing Mathematical English (by David Kramer) I.
Mathematical English Is English ProseThe most important error to avoid in writing mathematics in any language is to forget that mathematical writing is a highly specialized form of communication that requires above all accuracy and clarity. Although mathematical writing has its own particular set of requirements, keep in mind that when you are writing mathematics in English, you are writing English prose, and all the rules of English—in particular grammar and punctuation—apply.

TESLER © January 18, 1999 This page has been accessed at least times since the counter was last reset. Abstract. 1. To complete Phase One, students must achieve a suitable score on the College Board Achievement Test or Advanced Placement Examination, pass the Freshman Essay Evaluation, pass an appropriate writing subject in Course 21 and be certified by the instructor, or write a satisfactory five page paper for any MIT subject, Wellesley exchange subject, or UROP activity. To complete Phase Two, students must receive a grade of B or better for the quality of writing in a cooperative subject approved by the student's major department, receive a grade of B or better in one of several advanced classes in technical writing, or write a satisfactory ten page paper for any MIT subject or UROP activity approved by the major department.
The Grammar According to West. "Assume", "Suppose", and "Let" A statement that is assumed is an axiom, considered throughout to be true.
Something supposed is a hypothesis. Hence "Suppose" or "Suppose that" is more appropriate to introduce a case or an argument by contradiction. In contrast, "we may assume" introduces a consequence of an argument or symmetry and henceforth will be true. I do not really understand what the phrase "Assume for a contradiction that" actually means; use "Suppose to the contrary that".
Similarly, change the incomprehensible "By way of contradiction" to "To the contrary". "Suppose" vs. Guide to Writing. Ten_Rules.pdf. Unow: Resource Details. This is a module framework.

As taught in Autumn Semester 2009/10 The aim of this short unit is to motivate students to understand why we might want to do proofs (why proofs are important and how they can help us) and to help students with some of the relatively routine aspects of doing proofs. In particular, the student will learn the following: * proofs can help you to really see why a result is true; * problems that are easy to state can be hard to solve (e.g. . * sometimes statements which appear to be intuitively obvious may turn out to be false (e.g. Proofs.pdf.

Mathematical Style (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy/Spring 2010 Edition) First published Thu Jul 2, 2009 The essay begins with a taxonomy of the major contexts in which the notion of ‘style’ in mathematics has been appealed to since the early twentieth century.
These include the use of the notion of style in comparative cultural histories of mathematics, in characterizing national styles, and in describing mathematical practice. These developments are then related to the more familiar treatment of style in history and philosophy of the natural sciences where one distinguishes ‘local’ and ‘methodological’ styles. It is argued that the natural locus of ‘style’ in mathematics falls between the ‘local’ and the ‘methodological’ styles described by historians and philosophers of science. Finally, the last part of the essay reviews some of the major accounts of style in mathematics, due to Hacking and Granger, and probes their epistemological and ontological implications. 1.

ZbMATH - the first resource for mathematics. Index. Mathematics and Statistics. FUEJUM Welcome Page. MURJ - MIT Undergraduate Research Journal. Morehead State University - The Morehead Electronic Journal of Applicable Mathematics. The Morehead Electronic Journal of Applicable Mathematics (MEJAM) is an interdisciplinary journal, sponsored by Morehead State University, which publishes the work of undergraduate students.
The goal of MEJAM is to provide a refereed outlet for undergraduates in any discipline to publish quality papers and see the results quickly. MEJAM accepts papers which are outside the realm of the typical undergraduate curriculum and which emphasize the applicability of mathematics while maintaining significant mathematical interest. Papers may be historical, expository, or completely original in nature but must adhere to strict academic standards and should explore some aspect of the applications of mathematics.
Papers will typically be the result of summer research programs, internships, or other school projects. Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal. Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Honors Projects. Authors and Works by Discipline. The College Mathematics Journal. The College Mathematics Journal is designed to enhance classroom learning and stimulate thinking regarding undergraduate mathematics. It publishes articles, short Classroom Capsules, problems, solutions, media reviews, and other pieces. All are aimed at the college mathematics curriculum with emphasis on topics taught in the first two years.

Audience awareness : Mathematical Communication pages of MathDL. To communicate successfully, it’s necessary to consider the audience’s knowledge and interests and the communicator’s relationship to the audience.
These determine how much motivation to give, how much detail to include, how much content to try to convey, and even what to choose as the main point of the communication (this list is by no means exhaustive!). Yet students typically communicate math based on expectations developed in other contexts (e.g., English class or math psets).

Many of the papers were refereed and published in well-known journals, and one made it into what is now perhaps the most well-known particle theory journal, the Journal of High Energy Physics.

How to write mathematics clearly. By Matthew Leitch, 4 September 2009 Good reasons to write mathematics clearly If you read or write mathematics, at school, college, as a teacher, as a researcher, as an author - for any reason whatsoever - you may have noticed already that mathematical writing often isn't as clear as it might be.

Professor Jim Herod and I have written Multivariable Calculus ,a book which we and a few others have used here at Georgia Tech for two years. We have also proposed that this be the first calculus course in the curriculum here, but that is another story.... Predicting the future of the past tense. Verbs evolve and homogenize at a rate inversely proportional to their prevalence in the English language, according to a formula developed by MIT and Harvard University mathematicians who've invoked evolutionary principles to study our language over the past 1,200 years.
The team, which reported their findings in the Oct. 11 issue of Nature, conceives of linguistic development as an essentially evolutionary scheme. Just as genes and organisms undergo natural selection, words--specifically, irregular verbs that do not take an "-ed" ending in the past tense--are subject to powerful pressure to "regularize" as the language develops. "We're really on the front lines of developing the mathematical tools to study evolutionary dynamics," says Jean-Baptiste Michel, a graduate student at Harvard Medical School.
