am try to make the transition to CPV but the maths is escaping me as I
can't make the CPV formula's work. 

I am stumped by the ^ symbol in the formula CPV hull cost = (TMF -
non-combat Mass)^2/100. According to wikkipedia ^ means "logical
disjunction or join in a lattice or; max; join propositional logic,
lattice theory"??????? 
 
The alternative formula (TMF - non-combat Mass) multiplied times (TMF -
non-combat Mass) then divided by 100 isn't any clearer. To my mind, for
a ESU Ural DD, this would mean a CPV of (34-0)x(34-0)/100 = 11.56.
Given the CPV of the Ural is 95 I am clearly doing something wrong. 
 
Can anyone help me understand how CPV works or point me to another
explanation or calculator.
