Key Equations

$$p(z) = p_0 + \rho g z = p_0 + \int_0^z \rho(z') g \, dz'$$
$$c = 1448.96 + 4.591T - 5.304 \times 10^{-2}T^2 + 2.374 \times 10^{-4}T^3$$
$$- 1.025 \times 10^{-2}T(S - 35) - 7.139 \times 10^{-13}TD^3$$
$$\text{Snell's Law: } \frac{\cos\theta_1}{c_1} = \frac{\cos\theta_2}{c_2}$$

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