Newton's mutual attraction force for masses \(m_1\), \(m_2\) is \(F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2}\), where \(d\) is the distance between them and \(G\) is the gravitational constant.

Complicated convolution operations become simple multiplications via the Laplace transform \(F(s) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}f(x)e^{-s x}dx\) for function \(f\).

A definition of the exponential function that has found application in numerous approximation schemes is \(e^x = \lim_{y\to\infty} \left(1+\frac{x}{y}\right)^y\).
