Generaly accepted internet qwerty notation would be:
(((pi/4)bore**2)stroke)number of cylinders.

OR somewhat less acceptable depending on the situation:
(pi/4) X bore**2 X stroke X #cylinders.

The " ** " is used as notation for the oridnate of a mantisa.

n-th root would be X**1/n or the n-th root of x.

By the way, u used a rather ancient mathematical derivation of computing the area of the piston head (circle): pi/4 x bore**2. Just out of curiosisty, where did u see or learn that method??
