   Same resistors in series or parallel is just the simple multiplyer or   
   devidisin.   
      
   Same with capacitors except the mul and devide is reversed.   
      
   It only falls into that long drawn out formular of the recipical of the   
   recipical for more than 2 or the product over the sum for 2 of different   
   values.
