If the paper on writing papers were accompnied with some tex templates then that would be really great | |

| Dec 30, 2023 at 3:45 | comment | added | Piotr Hajlasz | @fedja Certainly my first and perhaps the last choice would be arXiv. I would like to see opinion of others and I would use it to modify my paper. In fact, before writing anything, I would like to start a discussion on MathOverflow. | |
| Dec 30, 2023 at 2:22 | comment | added | fedja | Just put it on the web using arXiv or your own webpage and send it to a few people whose opinions you consider worthwhile before submitting it to any journal. If this advice on writing papers is not on your list of things (not) to do, consider adding it or arguing against it :-) | |

| Dec 16, 2023 at 14:11 | comment | added | Dave L Renfro | @Timothy Chow: "unconventional essay $\ldots$ humorous or tongue-in-cheek $\ldots$ unorthodox or controversial advice" -- Now that I think about it, most of the articles I have from MI, downloaded (when I've had access) or photocopied during the past several decades, are of this nature (e.g. Koblitz's 1981 article Mathematics as propaganda and Montaño's 2012 article Ugly mathematics). I suppose this could be a self-selection effect on my part, but I suspect what you say is true more generally for MI articles. | |
| Dec 16, 2023 at 13:40 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | @DaveLRenfro I think that The Mathematical Intelligencer would be a more appropriate venue for an unconventional essay on this topic; e.g., one that is humorous or tongue-in-cheek, or that offers unorthodox or controversial advice. But a conventional essay seems more suitable for the Notices, which in recent years has increased its emphasis on career advice. | |
| Dec 16, 2023 at 8:59 | comment | added | Dave L Renfro | Possibly even more appropriate than Notices of the AMS is The Mathematical Intelligencer. | |
| Dec 15, 2023 at 19:00 | comment | added | Daniel Asimov | Such a paper seems very likely appropriate for the Notices of the AMS, as Donu Arapura suggests. | |
| Dec 15, 2023 at 17:14 | comment | added | Will Jagy | Also Krantz, A primer of Mathematical Writing. I guess the market for article length is different. Certainly I'd expect occasional pieces intended for graduate students.... searched golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2007/02/… posted by John Baez.

| Dec 15, 2023 at 17:11 | comment | added | Salvo Tringali | How to Write Mathematics by P. Halmos appeared in [L’Enseignement mathématique 16 (1970), 123-152]. What about submitting your work to the journal? | |
| Dec 15, 2023 at 16:57 | comment | added | YCor | There's, by the way, a talk by J-P. Serre in Harvard around 2010 "How to write mathematics badly" youtube.com/watch?v=ECQyFzzBHlo&ab_channel=ChristophPegel | |
| Dec 15, 2023 at 16:56 | comment | added | YCor | Already on arXiv does this take place under "General Mathematics"? | |
| Dec 15, 2023 at 16:44 | comment | added | Donu Arapura | I know that the Notices of the AMS has advice columns of various sorts. But this is just a guess. | |
