## Welcome to the Equations Archive
This forum exists to explain equations — not just list them.
Equations are the language science uses to describe reality.
Here, we focus on understanding what they mean and how to use them.
---
## What Belongs Here
✔ Famous and widely used equations
✔ Clear explanations of each symbol
✔ Intuition behind the formula
✔ Worked examples
✔ Real-world applications
✔ Common mistakes and misconceptions
---
## What This Is NOT
✘ Homework answer requests
✘ Formula dumps with no explanation
✘ Unexplained derivations without context
The goal is **understanding**, not memorisation.
---
## Recommended Thread Structure
When posting an equation, try to include:
1. The equation
2. What each symbol represents
3. What the equation is telling us
4. Where it comes from (intuition, not full proofs)
5. A worked example
6. A real-world application
7. Common mistakes
---
If you’re unsure whether an equation belongs here, ask — curiosity is welcome.
