The total probability formula, \(P(A) = \sum_k P(A \cap B_k)\), relates the occurrence of an event \(A\) to that of several mutually exclusive events (\(B_k\)'s).

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 \(c\).

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