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

The binomial theorem, making use of the well-known binomial coefficients, allows expressing \((x+y)^n\) as a sum: \((x+y)^n=\sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} x^k y^{n-k}\).

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.
