Shannon

math writing like other writing

white space matters

---

Maria

Don't write anything unproven!
(avoid "trivially, obviously")

How to gauge what to leave out -- what is the purpose/focus of your
writing?

---

Qining

why avoid "wlog", "iff", and other abbreviations?

restate what to prove at beginning of proof

(and, I'd say, provide intution or a goal)

labor to read your own writing from reader's perspective

---

Taylor

implicit steps (even when to realize you've made them!)

from real analysis: write out assumptions/asdsertions, make map
between them

---

Amanda

How does this apply to writing applied statistics?

when to include proofs, when to cite proofs elsewhere
(what is the focus?)

---

Francesca

how to make math readable

how many symbols, how much subscripting?

---

Beau

add words to link mathematical expressions/computations

write linearly and be specific

"Thus" vs "==>"

---

Brendan

define everything clearly

be careful with pronouns

why are proofs harder than regular text?
  - information density
  - foreign language (story problem story)

---

Jisu

whitespace

math should be readable

how to trade off between wordy math and concise symbol-y math?

O() and o() notation

---

Josue

examples in proofs?  (only if it helps!)

how much redundancy?
 (see jisu proof, and why?  so far away...)

read the arguments out loud

---

Sam

under-explaining vs over-explAINING

(IN YOUR DRAFTS AND PERSONAL NOTEBOOKS, OVER EXPLAIN (you can catch
errors and omissions this way, and it's easier to re-learn later).
CUT DOWN FOR FINAL )

---

Lee

Will the reader "read slow"?

what are the ways to read a math article?

---

Purvasha

thinking of equations and inequalities as sentences

wlog or wrt?  what's wrong with that?
