Key Equations

$$S_{total} = S_{matter} + S_{BH} \quad \text{must never decrease}$$
$$S_{BH} = \frac{k_B c^3 A}{4G\hbar} = \frac{k_B A}{4\ell_P^2}$$
$$S \leq \frac{2\pi k_B RE}{\hbar c}$$
$$S = k_B \ln \Omega$$

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

Course Context
