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.
