Key Equations

$$L(q^i, \dot{q}^i, t) = T - V$$
$$H(q^i, p_i, t) = \sum_i p_i \dot{q}^i - L$$
$$\sum_{n=1}^N (\cdots) a \to \int_0^L (\cdots) dx$$
$$\rho \frac{\partial^2 \phi}{\partial t^2} = \mu \frac{\partial^2 \phi}{\partial x^2}$$

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