`Julia` allows the use of *Unicode* symbols to replace variable names and for function calls. Unicode operations are entered in this pattern `\name[tab]`. That is a slash, `\`, the name (e.g., `alpha`), and then a press of the `tab` key.
In these notes, the following may appear as variable or function names
Infix operators may need parentheses due to precedence rules. For example, to call a composition, one needs `(f ∘ g)(x)` so that composition happens before function evaluation (`g(x)`).
