\section*{Some LaTeX Commands}
Here are some example sentences using LaTeX commands:\\
If $a\equiv 2\pmod{3}$, then $a^2\equiv 1\pmod 3$.\\
If $x$ and $y$ are positive real numbers, the arithmetic mean is $\dfrac{x+y}{2}$ and the geometric mean is $\sqrt{xy}$.\\
The union of two sets is $A\cup B$ and the intersection of two sets is $A\cap B$.\\
Let $(x,y)\in A\times B$.\\
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be defined by $f(x)=x^{2019}$.\\
In set-builder notation, the set of all odd integers is $\{2k+1\mid k\in\mathbb{Z}\}$.\\
Suppose that
\[1+3+5+\cdots+(2k-1) = k^2.\]
Note that if $a=2k$, then
\begin{align*}
a^2+3a+5 &= (2k)^2+3(2k)+5 \\
&= 4k^2+6k+4+1 \\
&= 2(2k^2+3k+2)+1.
\end{align*}
If $g\circ f$ is surjective, then $g$ is surjective.\\
Note that $\NN\subseteq \ZZ\subseteq \QQ\subseteq\RR\subseteq\CC$.
