• write most math symbols using intuitive names. For instance, write phi as $ \phi $ : $\phi$
• to negate a symbol, prefix it with \not. For instance, for not subset, write as $A \not\subset B$ which results in $A \not\subset B$
• write fractions as \frac{x}{y} to represent x over y: $\frac{x}{y}$
• write subscript as _{} and superscript as ^{}. For instance $P_{23}$ for $P_{23}$ and $P^{34}$ for $P^{34}$
• write new line with two \
• write decorations prefixing teh symbol. For instance for x bar write as \bar x: $\bar x$
