Key Equations

$$\boxed{T\{\phi(x_1)\cdots\phi(x_n)\} = \text{(all possible full contractions)}}$$
$$\langle 0|T\{\phi(x_1)\phi(x_2)\phi(x_3)\phi(x_4)\}|0\rangle =$$
$$\mathcal{L}_{\text{int}} = -\frac{\lambda}{4!}\phi^4$$
$$e^{-i\frac{\lambda}{4!}\int \phi^4} = 1 - i\frac{\lambda}{4!}\int d^4x \, \phi^4(x) + \frac{1}{2!}\left(-i\frac{\lambda}{4!}\right)^2\left[\int d^4x \, \phi^4(x)\right]^2 + \cdots$$

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