Key Equations

$$\eta = \frac{T_s - T_o}{T_o}$$
$$\frac{v^2}{r} + fv = \frac{1}{\rho}\frac{\partial p}{\partial r}$$
$$M = rv + \frac{1}{2}fr^2$$
$$\frac{\partial \zeta}{\partial t} + \beta v = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad c_\beta \sim -\frac{\beta \, L^2}{2}$$

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