Formulas

This SOCR Wiki page contains a number of formulas, mathematical expressions and symbolic representations that are used in varieties of SOCR resources. Usage is defined as a reference by image, text, TeX, URL, etc. For instance the SOCR Distributome project uses these formulas to represent PDFs, CDFs, transformations, etc.
