I have this equation that I need to be changed around, but have no idea how
to do it. In letters, the equation is (sorry for the numerous brackets, but
it's hard without pen and paper abilities on here):

Y = A � (((B�100)�D) + 1)^(C�D)

And what I need is for the equation to become like this:

A= Y � (((B�100) � D) +1)^(C�D)

but for B=... C=... and D=...

the ^ means to the power of, and I can't for the life of me figure out how
to move them around. The equation is for Compound interest, and I do
Discrete maths.

Your help would be greatly appreciated, and if you could email it to me,
that would also be great.

Thanks for your help

 -Chris

P.S-If anyone knows of the names of some good math books for this kind of
thing, could you tell me that too?
