‘Any professional mathematician (whether in the corporate world or in academe) who writes, and therefore puts math into print, should have this handbook on the reference shelf …The information needed by writers, editors, and their assistants to prepare clear, accurate, and understandable mathematical material is contained in this book. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students should read it from cover to cover. They will then find themselves well prepared to express their thoughts in writing throughout their scientific careers …’ Barbara A. Simmons, Technical Communication
‘Higham’s handbook is to the technical writer what The Elements of Style by Strunk and White is to the liberal arts writer. I’ve reached for The Elements of Style many times and expect to reach for Handbook of Writing for the Mathematical Sciences even more frequently.’ Keith Parris, Senior Technical Writer, Alcatel Network System

This new volume from Higham follows up his successful HWMS volume and is typically enlivened by anecdotes, unusual paper titles, and humorous quotations. It provides vital information on writing a technical paper, including its overview of the entire publication process, invaluable for anyone hoping to publish in a technical journal.
