"All scientists need to be skilled writers and researchers. The elements of good writing - clarity, simplicity, accuracy, and organization - are an essential part of success in science. With comprehensive practical help for both students and experienced researchers, Writing for Computer Science: gives extensive guidance for writing style and editing; presents sound practice for graphs, figures, and tables; guides the presentation of mathematics, algorithms and experiments; shows how to assemble research materials into a technical paper; and offers guidelines and advice on spoken presentations." "This second edition contains across-the-board detailed new material on research methods, the how-to of being a scientist, including: development of ideas into research programs; design and evaluation of experiments; how to search for, read, evaluate, and referee other research; and research ethics and the qualities that separate good and bad science." "Writing for Computer Science is an introduction to the doing and describing of research, and is a reference for working scientists in the computing and mathematical sciences."--Jacket.
