Scientific Writing for Computer Science Students
Wilhelmiina Hämäläinen · 2006
This material is originally prepared for IMPIT-students in the Department of Computer Science, University of Joensuu, to help them when they write their master’s thesis in English. Since all students are foreigners, quite much emphasis is put into English grammar, but all examples are taken from the computer science context. Another emphasis is the use of L ATEX, which suits especially well for writing computer science texts containing several equations, algorithms, tables, and figures. In addition, the literature sources and references can be easily managed with bibtex. The style advice are based on existing literature on scientific writing (e.g. [1, 2, 4, 3]), but once again the instructions have been applied to the current customs in the computer science filed.
