I'm a software engineer and while my math is ok it's not great.

From time to time I run into the need to solve a problem that is beyond my abilities.

They are generally of the rearrange this formula so x is the output type. And generally highly specific to whatever I'm working on.

I get some traction from feeding things through the wolfram alpha solver, but frequently either it can't do what I want, I don't know the right way to ask, or I don't understand it's answer.

I don't know any mathematicians so I was wondering if there was someplace I could ask these questions and have people with decent math skills look at them.

I'm not averse to paying and I'm not looking to freeload, but currently I don't even know who to ask.

I don't imagine the answers would be of use to anyone else, so asking here doesn't seem right, although I guess the approach used might be of use to a more general audience.

    I'm on many math forums, and can't think of one where your questions would be unwelcome (well, MO...). If you are having trouble formatting your questions, check out http://codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php or use a forum where you can embed images. Good luck!2011-04-04

    I tried asking my current question here, we'll see how it goes. http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/30993/how-to-rearrange-formulas-to-calculate-orbit-from-tangent-and-apoapsis2011-04-05
