    a \\eq b means that a is not equal to b.
  2. The notation
    a < b means that a is less than b.
  3. The notation
    a > b means that a is greater than b.
  4. The notation
    a \leq b means that a is less than or equal to b.
  5. The notation
    a \geq b means that a is greater than or equal to b.
