https://math.unm.edu/~sulsky/mathcamp/ApplyData.pdf. Have to cross-check with the notes.

I had already sent you this from Eric Rensahw's book (2011).

I know. The problem is that the solution you sent does not work. Thus I posted this here so we can compare both solutions and see if the algebra matches. Note that rho = N/R0 = gamma/beta. It is possible that the solution might not work well when R/rho is large.
