Is there a resource that describes the various syntax required for posting the supported formulas?

What would lead you to that assumption?Well, for starters, there aren't any other variables in that expression.

I don't even care to find out what you're doing wrong, but I'm sure you're doing something wrong.

The same reason I assume e is a constant.

I do it often, and get called on it often
Also, this is when a thread should be locked.
If we are not speculating then we must assume
