Brief paragraph describing the topic and the sections in the summary.


\section{Section 1} \label{first-section}

Organize the summary into sections.

\subsection{Subsection 1}

And subsections. Label them, to easily refer to them: c.f. Section \ref{first-section}.

\begin{itemize}
\item Itemize with default bullets....
\item[-] Or use custom ones.
\end{itemize}

\noindent
Control indentation.

Write equations in text $\Prob{A}=\E[1_A]$, or standalone:
$$
	E=mc^2.
$$

Or organize them into arrays:

\begin{eqnarray*}
|a+b|
	&\leq& |a-c|+|b-c| \\
	&=& e + f
\end{eqnarray*}


% Use EPS figures.
