Handbook of Writing for the Mathematical Sciences, Third Edition by Nicholas J. Higham is a practical guide to communicating mathematics clearly and professionally. It covers the entire process of mathematical writing, beginning with general writing principles and moving to notation, mathematical exposition, English usage, and the particular difficulties faced by non-native English writers. It also provides detailed advice on writing and revising scientific papers, emphasizing clarity, concision, logical organization, accessibility, and the idea that writing itself helps mathematicians clarify and develop their thinking.
The later chapters extend beyond writing itself to the professional workflow surrounding mathematical communication: TEX/LaTeX and BibTeX, document organization, version control and reproducible work, publishing papers, peer review, mathematical talks, posters, books, indexing, and blogging.
The third edition has been substantially updated for modern scholarly publishing, including open access, DOIs and ORCID, and adds new material on workflow, reviewing, book writing, and blog posts. Overall, the book functions both as a guide for students learning to write mathematics and as a reference for experienced mathematicians who want to improve how they present, publish, and communicate their work.
