SAP is a company (and software system) that exists to buy up other company's software, business, and services and then integrate that all into SAP's "core" systems, and do so in such a poor manner that their name and the

Yeah - I'm not mathematically inclined enough to understand what would be so funny about the 38x^3 denominator either? Unless it's something that would cause an error due to memory/register size constraints, or cause the calc
