Simple Proof Methods: Tips

The following tips, based on Mathematical proofs: A transition to advanced mathematics, will make your proofs clear and easy to read:

• Don't start sentences or proof with a symbol. Example: Instead of writing:
  $n = 2$ is even.write:The number $n = 2$ is even.
• Separate symbol with words, unless you list them in a comma-separated list. Example: Instead of writing:
  While $x \in A$, $B$ is an empty set.write:While $x \in A$, the set $B$ is an empty set.
