Subject: [PATCH] Clarify Getting Started 8. Modules

If the previous instructions were followed verbatim, some output would not be
displayed. Additionally, `iex` would crash upon reaching the
UndefinedFunctionError.

 Function declarations also support guards and multiple clauses. If a function has several clauses, Elixir will try each clause until it finds one that matches. Here is an implementation of a function that checks if the given number is zero or not:

 Giving an argument that does not match any of the clauses raises an error.
 
 ## Function capturing
 
-Throughout this tutorial, we have been using the notation `name/arity` to refer to functions. It happens that this notation can actually be used to retrieve a named function as a function type. Let's start `iex` and run the `math.exs` file defined above:
