I assume
<30 means over 30 ?

Tom,
The symbols can be read in either direction. Regardless which way you read it, the relationship being expressed is the same.
Always, the wider side of the > points to the "larger" side and the point of the > points to the smaller side.
So you could read it X<30 means X is less than 30, or alternatively you can read the same thing as 30 is greater than X. X>30 means X is greater than 30, or can also be read as 30 is less than X.
The way written in your quoted post is exactly backwards.
