Key Equations

$$v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$$
$$\mathbf{v} = \boldsymbol{\omega} \times \mathbf{r}$$
$$\delta t = \int_{\text{ray}} \frac{\delta v}{v_0^2}\,ds$$
$$F_{RP} = g \rho_m \alpha_v T_m \kappa t \left(1 + \frac{2\rho_m \alpha_v T_m}{\pi(\rho_m - \rho_w)}\right)$$

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