Lens maker equation:

$\overline{)\frac{\mathbf{1}}{{\mathbf{s}}_{\mathbf{o}}}{\mathbf{+}}\frac{\mathbf{1}}{{\mathbf{s}}_{\mathbf{i}}}{\mathbf{=}}\frac{\mathbf{1}}{\mathbf{f}}}$

Magnification:

$\overline{){\mathbf{m}}{\mathbf{=}}\frac{\mathbf{-}{\mathbf{s}}_{\mathbf{i}}}{{\mathbf{s}}_{\mathbf{o}}}}$
