Key Equations

$$F(x) = \exp\left\{-\left[1 + \xi\left(\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}\right)\right]^{-1/\xi}\right\}$$
$$H(y) = 1 - \left(1 + \frac{\xi\,y}{\tilde{\sigma}}\right)^{-1/\xi} \qquad y > 0, \;\; \tilde{\sigma} > 0$$
$$\text{FAR} = 1 - \frac{P_0}{P_1}$$
$$e(T) = e_s(T_w) - \gamma \, p \, (T - T_w)$$

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