hi there i wonder if any of you talented folks can help me with this little problem, my maths isnt great and i need to rearrange the exact sag formula
s=r-SQRT(r^2 - y^2) to make r the subject. I have spent all afternoon trawling through my ophthalmic lens textbooks and I can see plenty of other derivations of the formula itself but none are quite what im looking for.
I think its something like r=y^2 + s^2/ 2s but i cant seem to figure out how to derive this from the exact sag formula.
If anyone out there can show me how to work this out it'd be a great help as this assignment is really stressing me out right now.:angry:
Thanks in advance for any assistance :)
