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 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 \(c\).
