+## Style Guide
+
+This project loosely adheres to [Google Java Style][4] and is informed by
+[Effective Java][5]. All source files and documentation are encoded using
+[UTF-8][6]]. Developers should also consider the following:
+
+* Line lengths:
+  * code: __100__, but shorter is better.
+  * comments: __80__, for readability.
+* Use unicode symbols where possible: `double μ = 0.4;`
+* Use static imports for only the most common utilities and preconditions:
+  * `java.lang.math`
+  * `com.google.common.base.Preconditions`
