Assuming the formula is right, looks basically fine to me. Just be sure to remove the spaces from the main() subroutine you call at the end, there. Good Job!

A handy tip:
Be sure to place [code][/code] tags around your code. It's especially important with Python, because the spaces actually are part of the code structure.
