Key Equations

$$w = \frac{m_v}{m_d} \quad \text{(mass mixing ratio)}, \qquad \chi = \frac{n_v}{n_{\text{total}}} \quad \text{(volume mixing ratio)}$$
$$p_i = x_i \, p$$
$$I = I_0 \, e^{-\tau}$$
$$\tau = \int_0^{\infty} k_\lambda \, \rho \, dz$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
