The standard reference for this course, on which I rely whenever questions of typesetting, punctuation, grammar and usage arise, is The Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition, 2003, Chicago University Press; since recently there is a newer edition available).Other style guides and works on writing that I will use are:- American Mathematical Society.

Statistics, and Computer Science who are in the phase of writing their
diploma or doctoral thesis.The general aim of this course is to- introduce you to some basic principles of scientific writing and style
requirements as they have become standard in the respective academic
disciplines,
- discuss some elements of grammar, punctuation, and usage as they are
typical for scientific English, and
- to introduce you to some general ideas about the process of writing,
attitudes, and voice that might help you to organize your own writing.A special feature of this course is that it contains a discussion of how to present
mathematical arguments - how to combine verbal and formal reasoning, choose
notation, typeset and reference mathematical formulae, etc. Whenever ques-
tions of typesetting, referencing, or organizing notes and bibliographies arise,
I will discuss this in close connection to the scientific typesetting program
LATEX. (Note however that this is not a comprehensive course in
LATEX.)The course will be organized as a series of combined classes - lecture and
workshops. There will be practical exercises, we will read and analyze text in
class, there will be reading and writing assignments for home, and you will
discuss and review the texts of others.Evaluation for this course is based on
(i) your participation in class,
(ii) your preparation of reading and writing assignments, and
(iii) your reviews of the texts of others.
