A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO WRITING
Technical ideas may be solid or even groundbreaking, but if
these ideas cannot be clearly communicated, reviewers of technical
documents--e.g., proposals for research funding, articles
submitted to scientific journals, and business plans to
commercialize technology--are likely to reject the argument
for advancing these ideas.
The problem is that many engineers and scientists, entirely
comfortable with the logic and principles of mathematics and
science, treat writing as if it possesses none of these attributes.
The absence of a systematic framework for writing often results in
sentences that are difficult to follow or arguments that leave
reviewers scratching their heads.
This book fixes that problem by presenting a
"scientific" approach to writing that mirrors the
sensibilities of scientists and engineers, an approach based on an
easily-discernable set of principles. Rather than merely stating
rules for English grammar and composition, this book explains the
reasons behind these rules and shows that good reasons can guide
every writing decision.
This resource is also well suited for the growing number of
scientists and engineers in the U.S. and elsewhere who speak
English as a second language, as well as for anyone else who just
wants to be understood.
