And if you're trying to design circuits without knowing these formulae, don't worry too much about them. You probably won't be around for anyone to blame for anything that goes wrong with your design for much longer.

"On another occasion it happened that a certain heathen came before
Shammai and said to him, "Make me a proselyte, on the condition that
you teach me the whole Torah while I stand on one foot." Thereupon he chased him away with the builder's cubit that was in his hand.
When he came before Hillel, (he also asked Hillel to teach him the
entire Torah while standing on one foot) Hillel replied, "What is
hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor: that is the whole Torah
while the rest is commentary; go and learn it."
