Technical
Writing:
- The importance of
clarity of exposition, and of grammatical correctness, in technical
writing cannot be over-emphasized. The best way to determine if you
understand what you are doing is to try to write it down in a form that
another reader can understand. Some comments along these lines are
included with the course information; for
some helpful resources see "Writing Aids" on my homepage.
