Chang Lawrence A. Handbook for Spoken Mathematics

The Regents of the University of California, 1983. — 63 p.The handbook answer some of the needs of the many people who have to deal with spoken mathematics, yet have insufficient background to know to correct verbal expression for the written symbolic one. Mathematical material is primarily presented visually, and when this material is presented orally, it can be ambiguous. While the parsing of a written expression is clear and well-defined, when it is spoken this clarity may disappear.
