Key Equations

$$\tan\gamma = \frac{D}{L} = \frac{C_D}{C_L}, \quad u = \sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta B \cos\gamma}{\rho (C_L \cos\gamma + C_D \sin\gamma) A}}$$
$$d = \frac{c \cdot \Delta t}{2}, \quad c \approx 1500 \;\text{m/s (sound speed in seawater)}$$
$$\sigma_{\text{pos}}(t) = \sigma_{\text{DVL}} \cdot v \cdot t + \sigma_{\text{INS}} \cdot t^{3/2}$$
$$\mathbf{v}_i = w_1 \nabla \phi(\mathbf{x}_i) + w_2 \sum_{j \in \mathcal{N}_i} (\mathbf{x}_j - \mathbf{x}_i) + w_3 \mathbf{v}_{\text{formation}}$$

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