There used to be many posters in this forum that had mathematical backgrounds maybe 8-10 years ago. Now, they seem to have found greener pastures ( perhaps the debates forum - 😉 ) If you have little to no math background this will probably be difficult. I guess the pre requisites to this problem are algebra, and trigonometry (calculus - if you wish to get fancy finding the zero of the function).
