In high school, I tied for the 6th highest score in the state on the national math exam.

My masters was in engineering math (and cs).

I use math every day to solve real world problems.

I've used math to compute missile paths and camera visibility.

I'm pretty sure that I did study and continue to study.

I've just completed level I at projecteuler.net for no other reason than it's fun.

Paul, the guys who developed the formulas you're trying to use apply math in the same way that I do.

2 bananas * 2 = 4 bananas.

2 bananas * 2 bananas = 4 bananas^2

1 N <> 1 Ns

If you can't understand or at least accept this simple thing, any discussion with kallog or anyone else is wasted.

Let's try something even simpler ...
What is 2x * 2x?
