Key Equations

$$\omega^2 = \left(gk + \frac{\gamma}{\rho}k^3\right)\tanh(kh)$$
$$T_n = \frac{2L}{n\sqrt{gh}}, \quad n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots$$
$$\eta = \eta_0 \exp\left(-\frac{y}{R_d}\right)\cos(kx - \omega t)$$
$$\omega^2 = gk\sin\left[(2n+1)\beta_b\right], \quad n = 0, 1, 2, \ldots$$

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