Ah, never used latex. You're right about the formula :)

Yeah, that'd be nice. I was actually using OO to keep a nice tidy track of =
a reasonably complicated derivation I was trying to work through, the =
above being just the first given. If I could have just asked it to solve =
for a given coefficient it would be very nice...

Seriously though, if I wanted a graph of a formula I'd probably use octave =
(another killer app for scientists - free matlab replacement) to generate =
some data or else just do it straight in a spreadsheet with OO if it =
wasn't too messy an equation.
