Helpful tips for math writing and LaTeX typesetting

Examples of bad notation and typesetting in TeX. Please have a look at this; I see many LaTeX errors in thesis proposals, theses and manuscripts that I review for journals
the LaTeX file that produced the above pdf file; please note the style of writing LaTeX that makes for easier editing.

Motivational note

Note that it is to your advantage to learn to critically read research papers early in a PhD program, and then proceed to doing research and writing/submitting/publishing research manuscripts. Chances of getting a fellowship/scholarship and getting an academic position after a PhD program, increase a lot if you have submitted papers during your PhD studies.
