Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications

Clear scientific communication is important, but difficult. In this short course, we will discuss best practices for writing mathematical papers and giving mathematical talks. The material for this course is a synthesis of expert advice from, for example, Paul Halmos, Terry Tao, and others, along with practical examples. The advice is applicable outside of math as well. The course should be useful for graduate students, postdocs, faculty who are looking to mentor students more effectively in these skills, anyone who wants to learn from expert writers or speakers, and anyone who wants to take the opportunity to reflect on their own speaking or writing style. Adjustments to the course structure can be made according to the needs of the audience. The Chinese title of this course is 数学的英语沟通技巧.
