## What?
Implements the standard math syntax for expectation values of random variables on finite sets
## How?
This is best explained with an example:
```
# import the objects
from random_variable import RandomVariable, E
# define a universe for example the possible outcomes of a dice
dice = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
# define one random variable
X = RandomVariable(dice)
# compute and print expectation values
print('mean:', E[X])
print('one minus mean:', E[1-X])
print('twice the mean:', E[X*2])
print('variance:', E[(X-E[X])**2])
print('variance again:', E[X**2]-E[X]**2)
print('standard deviation:', (E[X**2]-E[X]**2)**0.5)
print('skewness:', E[(X-E[X])**3]/E[(X-E[X])**2]**1.5)
print('kurtosis:', E[(X-E[X])**4]/E[(X-E[X])**2]**2)
print('some other complex expectation value:', E[sin(2*X)*cos(X+1)])
```
(works in both python 2 and python 3)
