Writing for Computer Science is a comprehensive guide to effective scientific communication. This highly readable book considers in detail all the important elements of technical presentation: writing style; editing and organization; construction of graphs, figures, and tables; presentation of mathematics and algorithms; development of hypotheses; conduct and presentation of experiments; the process of refereeing; and preparation and delivery of short talks. With many examples drawn from computing, Writing for Computer Science is an invaluable reference for both graduate students and experienced researchers writing in the computing and mathematical sciences.
