[snip really complicated bit]
WHOOSH!!! That went way over my head. :)
I don't think I know enough math to understand that. Any chance you
could rewrite it in a simpler form? :)
maybe a bit like some sort of psudocode:
[this is utter crap but just so you get the idea]
num_a=a*b+e*f
num_b=<blah>*num_a*g
<blah>
.
.
.
x=<blah>
y=<blah>
z=<blah>
Where (x, y, z) would be the final point?
Sorry to be annoying but I really didn't understand what you had
written.

How about you?
