Key Equations

$$C_{m_1,m_2,m}^{j_1,j_2,j} = \langle j_1, m_1; j_2, m_2 | j_1, j_2; j, m \rangle$$
$$|j_1 - j_2| \leq j \leq j_1 + j_2$$
$$\sum_{j,m} C_{m_1,m_2,m}^{j_1,j_2,j} C_{m_1',m_2',m}^{j_1,j_2,j} = \delta_{m_1 m_1'}\delta_{m_2 m_2'}$$
$$C_{m,0,m}^{j,1,j} = \frac{m}{\sqrt{j(j+1)}}$$

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