The heat equation, \(\frac{\partial \varnothing}{\partial t} = D \nabla^2 \varnothing\), uses the Laplacian of \(\varnothing\) to express diffusion through a medium.

The \(k\)th Fibonacci number can be written in closed form as \(F(k) = \frac{\varphi^k - (-\frac{1}{\varphi})^k}{\sqrt{5}}\), where \(\varphi\) is the celebrated golden ratio.

The normal density, \(p(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}\), has become important in many applications because of its close relationship to the central limit theorem.
