% Inline math
The quadratic formula is $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$.
% Display math
\begin{equation}
\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2} dx = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}
\end{equation}
% Aligned equations
\begin{align}
\nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} &= \frac{\rho}{\epsilon_0} \\
\nabla \times \mathbf{B} &= \mu_0 \mathbf{J}
