Lists#

Create an ordered list using numbers:

1. Number theory
2. Algebra
3. Partial differential equations
4. Probability

  1. Number theory

  2. Algebra

  3. Partial differential equations

  4. Probability

Create an unordered list using an asterisk * for each item:

* Number theory
* Algebra
* Partial differential equations
* Probability

  • Number theory

  • Algebra

  • Partial differential equations

  • Probability

Use indentation to create nested lists:

1. Mathematics
  * Calculus
  * Linear Algebra
  * Probability
2. Physics
  * Classical Mechanics
  * Relativity
  * Thermodynamics
3. Biology
  * Diffusion and Osmosis
  * Homeostasis
  * Immunology

  1. Mathematics

    • Calculus

    • Linear Algebra

    • Probability

  2. Physics

    • Classical Mechanics

    • Relativity

    • Thermodynamics

  3. Biology

    • Diffusion and Osmosis

    • Homeostasis

    • Immunology

Images#

Include an image using the syntax ![description](url). For example:

![Jupyter logo](https://jupyter.org/assets/try/jupyter.png)

displays the image

Jupyter logo

Tables#

Create a table by separating entries by pipe characters |:

| Python Operator | Description  |
| :---: | :---: |
| `+` | addition |
| `-` | subtraction |
| `*` | multiplication |
| `/` | division |
| `**` | power |

Python Operator

Description

+

addition

-

subtraction

*

multiplication

/

division

**

power

The syntax :---: specifies the alignment (centered in this case) of the columns. See more about GitHub flavoured markdown.
