That's quite exactly how I shown my students how to change the range of 
values, except we didn't have to do the stuff on the right because we were 
not trying to make an abstraction with it.

I mean, the [-] [/] [*] [+] sequence is exactly the same.

It's possible to make the left inlet run faster by condensing the formula 
to just a [*] and a [+], but then the right inlets become more complicated 
and slower. It's a possible tradeoff if you have to make the left inlet 
real fast, but I haven't taught that, and I didn't try to make an 
abstraction with it.
