Need a Formula!
Greetings!
I have a complex mathematical problem I'm working on right now. I have been given a list of variables and a final solution. My job is to find the formula that created the solution from those variables. (The formula doesn't have to contain all variables - in fact, in may need to only include 1 or 2, I don't know)
The variables:
a = 5.33
b = 6.51
c = 8
d = 1352
e = 94
f = 11.21
g = 11
h = 756
i = 117.47
j = 6.39
k = 0.8334
L = 5
M = 5.33
N = 5.32
O = 0
P = 1.15
Q = 5.06
R = 0.27
The Final Solution = 6.51
So how do these variables make up the final solution? Remember, it doesn't have to include all variables. The true number of variables is unknown since I don't know the formula.
Thanks!

Do you want to be able to figure out *all* possible combinations of variables that could be a formula that gives you the final solution?
Genetic programming (GP) is the best way to do that. If this is what you mean, let me know - I can give you a quick crash course in how to implement a GP algorithm for your problem.

There are an infinite number of formulas that can create the solution from those variables.
You might be able to reduce that to a smaller infinite number if you give us more sets of variables with their final solutions.

haha, i like mlmcc's first comment :)
