-# Property tests for squiggle
+# Squiggle invariants
 
 Here are some property tests for squiggle. I am testing mostly for the mean and the standard deviation. I know that squiggle doesn't yet have functions for the standard deviation, but they could be added.
 
 The keywords to search for are "[algebra of random variables](https://wikiless.org/wiki/Algebra_of_random_variables?lang=en)". 
 
-## Sums
+## Means and standard deviations
+### Sums
 
 $$ mean(f+g) = mean(f) + mean(g) $$
 
-$$ Std(f+g) = sqrt(std(f)^2 + std(g)^2) $$
+$$ std(f+g) = \sqrt{std(f)^2 + std(g)^2} $$
 
 In the case of normal distributions,
 
-$$ normal(a,b) + normal(c,d) = normal(a+c, sqrt(b^2 + d^2) $$
+$$ mean(normal(a,b) + normal(c,d)) = mean(normal(a+c, \sqrt{b^2 + d^2})) $$
 
-## Substractions
+### Subtractions
 
 $$ mean(f-g) = mean(f) - mean(g) $$
 
-$$ std(f-g) = sqrt(std(f)^2 + std(g)^2) $$
+$$ std(f-g) = \sqrt{std(f)^2 + std(g)^2} $$
 
-## Multiplications
+### Multiplications
 
 $$ mean(f \cdot g) =  mean(f) \cdot mean(g) $$
 
-$$ std(f \cdot g) = sqrt( (std(f)^2 + mean(f)) \cdot (std(g)^2 + mean(g)) - (mean(f) \cdot mean(y))^2) $$
+$$ std(f \cdot g) = \sqrt{ (std(f)^2 + mean(f)) \cdot (std(g)^2 + mean(g)) - (mean(f) \cdot mean(g))^2} $$
 
-## Divisions
+### Divisions
 
 Divisions are tricky, and in general we don't have good expressions to characterize properties of ratios. In particular, the ratio of two normals is a Cauchy distribution, which doesn't have to have a mean.
 
-## To do:
+# To do:
 
 - Provide sources or derivations, useful as this document becomes more complicated
 - Provide definitions for the probability density function, exponential, inverse, log, etc.
 - Provide at least some tests for division
 - See if playing around with characteristic functions turns out anything useful
