in reply to DBI for noobs

Depends on the mathematical equations. You could write the math in SQL. Or you could fetch the data into your favorite programming language, do the equations, and then insert into another table.

The bigger question is whether you know how to pair up your rows in whatever way you desire. To do that you likely need to know how to write a join. this explains the syntax reasonably well.
