To a person skilled in programming, I know this question might seem ridiculous, but please bear with me. I’m involved in a court case and a critical point hinges on the answer to a couple of questions.
Given a mathematical formula, along with complete formula documentation as shown here:

-
In solving the equation for P, is there ANY requirement or need to implement the formula in Microsoft Excel prior to implementing it in PHP source code?
-
Could a competent PHP programmer just type the formula into PHP source code without the use of Microsoft Excel in the interim?
Thank you very much!
The formulas you have presented are remedial mathematics, any decent programmer with any programming language (including PHP) could implement those formulas without Excel or any other software aid. So the answers to your questions are:
1.) NO
2.) YES
