I wish there was a Strunk and White for mathematics.
While by no means logically incorrect, it feels inelegant to setup a problem using variables A and B in the first paragraph and solve for X and Y in the second (compounded with the implicit X==B, and Y==A).
There are lots of good books on writing mathematics:
1. How to Write Mathematics — Paul Halmos
2. Mathematical Writing — Donald Knuth, Tracy Larrabee, and Paul Roberts
3. Handbook of Writing for the Mathematical Sciences — Nicholas J. Higham
4. Writing Mathematics Well — Steven Gill Williamson
