Key Equations

$$\psi(\vec{r}) \sim e^{ikz} + f(\theta,\phi)\frac{e^{ikr}}{r}$$
$$f(\theta) = \sum_{\ell=0}^\infty (2\ell+1)f_\ell P_\ell(\cos\theta)$$
$$\sigma_{\text{tot}} = \frac{4\pi}{k}\text{Im}[f(0)]$$
$$f \approx f_0 = -a_s$$

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