Key Equations

$$\frac{dT_1}{dt} = \gamma(T_1^* - T_1) - |q|\,(T_1 - T_2)$$
$$q = k(\alpha\,\Delta T - \beta\,\Delta S)$$
$$\Psi(y,z) = \int_{x_W}^{x_E}\int_{-H}^{z} v(x,y,z')\,dz'\,dx$$
$$\rho = \rho_0\left[1 - \alpha(T - T_0) + \beta(S - S_0)\right]$$

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