How it is calculated

Why the comparison matters

R = d / lambda

The page is built to answer a search query directly and then hand the user off to the calculator for adjustments.

U = 1 / (Rsi + sum(R layers) + Rse)

That makes the page useful both for search discovery and for conversion into actual calculations.
