Key Equations

$$\frac{D\Gamma}{Dt} = -\oint \frac{1}{\rho}\nabla p \cdot d\vec{l} = -\oint \alpha\, dp$$
$$\Delta p' \approx \rho\, g\, \Delta z \approx \rho\, g\, H\frac{\Delta T}{T}$$
$$Fr = \frac{U}{NH}$$
$$\lambda_z = \frac{2\pi U}{N}$$

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