Mathematical Writing (Mathematical Association of America Notes)

Rating:
Summary: Good stuff!
Review: The book is based on lecture notes of a course for Stanford CS students. The lecture notes aren't very polished, but the chatty tone makes good reading. The book is incredibly funny, but some people may not like that.

Guest lecturers include outstanding people like Leslie Lamport and Paul Halmos. The content is excellent, especially the parts about writing proofs. Some parts are of more interest to computer scientists, but most of it is valuable to anyone engaged in mathematical writing.

Despite all the good things, this book doesn't really stand alone and should be complemented with other books, like the one by Krantz.

P.S.: A almost complete TEX version of the book can be found on the web.
