The heat equation, \(\frac{\partial \varnothing}{\partial t} = D \nabla^2 \varnothing\), uses the Laplacian of \(\varnothing\) to express diffusion through a medium.

Prime numbers are key to Euler's product formula, \(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{k^s}=\prod_{p \;\; \mathrm{prime}}\frac{1}{1-p^{-s}}\), which establishes equality between an infinite sum and product for fixed \(s>1\).

Another common definition of the exponential function to the natural basis, \(e^x\), comes from writing it as the series \(e^x = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^k}{k!}\).
