Natasha,
A few years ago the head of our Math dept was toying with the idea of
offering a course in writing for math majors, so I did some research on
courses. Some of these sources might be useful to you--or just try a
google search on writing and mathematics
University of Minnesota Center for Writing offers courses in writing in
math, under the heading of "teaching with writing"
