Changed (H-T) to (H+H1) to make better.
Log is base e.

For Dr. Howard Johnson's formulas, see his book, High-Speed Digital Design, pages 436-439. Dr. Johnson got the formulas from his references on page 436.
The dielectric constant used in the propogation time was modified by Mark Hoffman to take into account different values for the top and bottom parts.
