Abstract
In terms of this book, academic English means any English used in formal texts and presentations by students, researchers and teaching staff of any discipline. For me, scientific English is a subset of academic English, and is the English used by those studying scientific subjects (e.g. chemistry, biology, engineering, mathematics) rather than humanistic subjects such as history or philosophy. In any case, there is no clear distinction and even humanist subjects can be very 'scientific', e.g. the philosophy of mathematics.
