Key Equations

$$\mathbf{J} \times \mathbf{B} = \nabla p$$
$$q = \frac{\text{toroidal turns}}{\text{poloidal turns}} = \frac{r B_\phi}{R B_\theta}$$
$$F(\psi) = RB_\phi$$
$$\frac{d}{dr}\left(p + \frac{B_\theta^2}{2\mu_0}\right) = -\frac{B_\theta^2}{\mu_0 r}$$

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