2. Binary arithmetic -- `-`, `+`, `*`, `/`, `\`, `^`
3. Comparison -- `==`, `!=`, `` ([`isapprox`](@ref)), ``

Most of the binary arithmetic operators listed above also operate elementwise
when one argument is scalar: `-`, `+`, and `*` when either argument is scalar,
and `/` and `\` when the denominator is scalar. For example, `[1, 2] + 3 == [4, 5]`
and `[6, 4] / 2 == [3, 2]`.

Additionally, to enable convenient vectorization of mathematical and other operations,
To enable convenient vectorization of mathematical and other operations,
Julia [provides the dot syntax](@ref man-vectorized) `f.(args...)`, e.g. `sin.(x)`
or `min.(x,y)`, for elementwise operations over arrays or mixtures of arrays and
scalars (a [Broadcasting](@ref) operation); these have the additional advantage of
