Math Miscellany

The math symbols `< >` and `|` are used only in math mode. Note that left and right angle brackets (which are somewhat taller than < and >) can be obtained with `\langle` and `\rangle` commands.

The single right quotation mark, `'`, produces a prime in math mode. You can also use `\prime`.
