Mathematical equations
Inspired by "The JetBlast mathematical formula thread" (go on, post a formula that'll really wreck their heads!)
So what is the most used mathematical formula that you use in the profession?

F=ma (otherwise known as Newton's second law).
Closely followed by incompressible Bernoulli.
Followed a little later by the Euler buckling load formula.
I've invented a few much more complicated ones of my own from time to time, but they aren't as useful (if they were, Daniel Bernoulli would probably have thought of them about 1740!).
