 You already know what a \say{well-formed} string is: $1 + 1$ is fine, $\sqrt{+}$ is nonsense. \par
 For the sake of time, I will not provide a formal definition. It isn't particularly interesting.

+A formula can contain one or more \textit{free variables.} These are denoted $\varphi{(a, b, ...)}$. \par
+Formulas with free variables let us define \say{properties} that certain objects have. \par
