 technical papers. Usually in the realm of math and science. As such, 
 we need to be able to add special symbols to our paper! \\

+Math has many symbols, far beyond what you can find on a keyboard.

+Sets and relations play a vital role in many mathematical research papers.
+Here's how you state all y that belong to X, $\forall$ x $\in$ X.
 Notice how I needed to add \$ signs before and after the symbols. This is 
 because when writing, we are in text-mode. However, the math symbols only exist
 in math-mode. We can enter math-mode from text mode with the \$ signs. 
 The opposite also holds true. Variable can also be rendered in math-mode. \\
