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

Bayes's theorem, \(P(A|B) = \frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)}\), relates the two conditional probabilities involving events \(A\) and \(B\).

The wave equation, \(\frac{\partial^2u}{\partial t^2}= c^2\nabla^2 u\), relates how \(u\) varies with time and with the spatial coordinates as a wave propagates with speed \(c\).
