MATLAB code

for i=1:2:101;
    i = i + 1;
end
if i > 100
    disp('i is larger than 100')
elseif i < 100
    disp('i is smaller than 100')
else disp('i may not be 100')
end

Slide 5

Here's some inline math. I copied the question from my MATH 2070B homework 4 question 3.¹

If $R$ is a non-commutative ring, for $a,b,c \in R$ such that $ab = bc = 1$ , we have $a = c$ because $a(bc) = (ab)c$ .
