Math as Code

Julia allows you to be a little closer to the math and use a lot of the math symbols directly. For example, you can write `if 6 ∈ A` (https://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.4/stdlib/collections...), and you can use greek symbols for variable names.

Probably more useful for mathematicians implementing their papers than the other way around, but I find it kind of a nifty language feature and makes it easier to verify that your program matches the math.

i like the direction of this writeup a lot an am trying to go for a more symbolic style in my notes
