| Course description |
|
The objective of this lecture is to show to the students some language challenges of scientific writing (e.g. ambiguity), the limits of an analytic language such as English with respect to these challenges and how they can improve their writing by understanding what a synthetic language (e.g. Latin) is, how it can be advantageously used for scientific writing and how to reuse some of its principles when writing with an analytic language such as English.
