【转帖】关于写作（陶哲轩）（英文）

陶哲轩的一篇关于如何进行数学写作的文章，没有翻译，大家先看看，我想一般能看懂 On writing There are three rules for writing the novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are. (W. Somerset Maugham) Everyone has to develop their own writing style, based on their own strengths and weaknesses, on the subject matter, on the target audience, and sometimes on the target medium. Nevertheless, I do have some general advice on these topics: * Writing a paper o Use the introduction to “sell” the key points of your paper; the results should be described accurately. One should also invest some effort in both organising and motivating the paper, and in particular in selecting good notation and giving appropriate amounts of detail. But one should not over-optimise the paper. o It is also assists readability if you factor the paper into smaller pieces, for instance by making plenty of lemmas. o To reduce the time needed to write and organise a paper, I recommend writing a rapid prototype first. o For first time authors especially, it is important to try to write professionally. One should take advantage of the English language, and not just rely purely on mathematical symbols. * Submitting a paper o Proofread and double-check your article before submission; you should be submitting a final draft, not a first draft. o Submit to an appropriate journal. I should point out, of course, that my own writing style is not perfect, and I myself don’t always adhere to the above rules, often to my own detriment. If some of these suggestions seem too unsuitable for your particular paper, use common sense. Some further advice on mathematical exposition: * Michèle Audin’s “Conseils aux auteurs de textes mathématiques“ * Oded Goldreich’s “How to write a paper“. * David Goss’ “Some hints on mathematical style“ * Timothy Gowers on “writing examples first!” (see also this followup post) * Paul Halmos’ “How to write mathematics” (the book also contains similar pieces by Dieudonné, Schiffer, and Steenrod); the article can be found here. * “Mathematical Writing” – notes from a lecture course by Don Knuth, Tracy Larrabee, and Paul Roberts. * Ashley Reiter’s “Writing a research paper in mathematics“ * Jean-Pierre Serre’s “How to write mathematics badly“ |
