Key Equations

$$d(t) = 2500 + 350\sqrt{t}$$
$$T(z,t) = T_s + (T_m - T_s)\,\text{erf}\!\left(\frac{z}{2\sqrt{\kappa t}}\right)$$
$$D\frac{d^4 w}{dx^4} + (\rho_m - \rho_w)g\,w = q(x)$$
$$\Delta B(x) = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \int_V \frac{\mathbf{M} \cdot \nabla}{|\mathbf{r}|^3}\,dV$$

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