Thing squared:         (Thing)^2
x squared:              x^2

Square root of Thing:  SQRT(Thing)
Square root of x:      SQRT(x)

Thing times That:      (Thing)*(That)
x times y:             x*y

Thing divided by That: (Thing)/(That)
x divided by y:         x/y

Golden mean (1 plus  the square root of 5, all divided by 2)

                       (1 + SQRT(5))/2


Equation for a circle:  x^2 + y^2 = r^2

Solved for y:          y= SQRT(r^2 - x^2)

Etc.

Yes, it looks messy but if yr careful, it works.

HTH,

- Mike
