SfS `sty`

The in-house packages by SfS are stored under style folder. It includes packages defining the page style, ETH logo art as well as packages like {texab} and {sfs-hyper}.

texab would be probably used extensively as it contains common shortcuts for expectation, proability and other symbols. It might also conflicts with packages added later. In that case, comment out such fucntions in style/texab.sty for compatibility reasons.
