This page contains a list of resources I have compiled for your reference.  Highly recommended resources are indicated by .

Technical writing resources:

• The Elements of Style
  (extremely affordable, a timeless masterpiece, often funny; the classic text by Strunk and White (author of Charlotte's Web, among other things))
• Mathematical Writing
  (affordable and written by Don Knuth, always a plus; see also technical report version of same thing below)
• Handbook of Writing for the Mathematical Sciences
  (has sections on mathematical writing, English usage, paper writing and revising, publishing, theses, talks, posters, and LaTeX; was required reading for CPS 300 in previous years; you may browse a copy in my office if you are curious)

• Ian Parberry's A Guide for New Referees in Theoretical Computer Science
• Don Knuth et al.'s Mathematical Writing (technical report)
  (a preliminary version of the above book, issued as a Stanford technical report)
• Jonathan Shewchuk's Three Sins of Authors in Computer Science and Math
  (an entertaining look at three of this author's pet peeves; presumably other folks may disagree, but I tend to agree for the most part)
• Dennis Baron's How to Write a Paper

MATLAB resources:

• MIT SIPB's Inessential Guide to MATLAB
  (the most comprehensive short introduction to MATLAB I know of; some text on the first page refers to MIT's computing environment Athena, but the remainder is entirely general)
• MathWorks's MATLAB Documentation Page
  (the complete online documentation source from the creators of MATLAB)
• MathWorks's Getting Started with MATLAB in PDF format
  (a large, but very helpful, introductory document from the MathWorks site)

HTML resources:

I am including two links here for now:

• Google Directory on HTML
  (you can't ask for more places to visit than this)
• World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
  (the definitive guide to all things HTML from its source)

LaTeX resources:

An astonishing number of LaTeX resources are available on the web, but since you will likely be using LaTeX to write most if not all your technical documents over the next few years, it might be worth your while to invest in a LaTeX reference book.  In addition to the sites listed below, you can probably find hundreds of others by searching on Google or Yahoo!.

• The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2e
  (available for free download; the above link is a local copy of the original that loads very slowly.)
• A Guide to LaTeX
  (the book I find myself using most often)
• The LaTeX Companion and The LaTeX Graphics Companion
  (a two volume set that some folks recommend)
• LaTeX : A Documentation Preparation System
  (the original book on LaTeX written by the creator of LaTeX himself)

• Robert Miner's Learning LaTeX
• MIT's Inessential Guide to LaTeX
• Latex Project's Introduction to LaTeX
• Brown's Introduction to TeX, LaTeX, BibTeX and SliTeX

• Cambridge's Text Processing using LaTeX

  (extremely comprehensive and utterly customizable)

• University of Karlsruhe's Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies
• NEC ResearchIndex
  (an excellent searchable citation index with a few BibTeX entries)
• LIDOS AI database

Emacs resources:
