My first puzzle. Hope you don't feel you have to be psychic!

Any little bit of salt for the math-challenged?

[3] No, just a math wiz! Which I am not even though I have a math minor (from a long time ago). Something tells me I really don't have to be a math wiz, but the sight of integrals makes me sick to the stomach!

No, no need for math (thank goodness) other than the usual tanga number application - but remember, it's all Greek to me!

[6] All I get is gibberish.

Woohoo! Got it on a guess (and by reading [2])! :-D
But it turns out I was on the right track; I just used the wrong thing for tanga numbering.

You solved this puzzle in 28 minutes and 17 seconds and were the 21st Tanga member to solve it.
[3] 1st puzzle? Wow! I'm impressed!

Don't apply the exponents too soon.

Got it the second go-round. I had the right idea the first time but must have messed up somehow ... then I spent a loong time trying to think of something else to do.
p.s.: Nice puzzle!

Good puzzle! Nice formulas, lol.

Hmmm, this one reminds me a lot of math class - a lot of work, and I always seem to come up with the wrong answer! I tried a lot of things and nothing works - it's all gibberish. I even think I know what the exponents are for, but that's not helping. Any more salt to give?

[13] Not to remind you of math class, but if the variables were Roman alphabet instead of Greek, would that help? (And, of course, everything you do in an equation applies to the "solution", right?)

Thanks [8] ... got me to re-evaluate and after a few letters saw the answer.

Wow... 57th after 6 hours! And only by a guess as well...

After completing the two steps using the Wikipedia table for the Greek alphabet, I got close enough that I could guess it, but I think that the Wikipedia table does not use the exact same order as the puzzle author.
My first <100 finish in a while... :-)

Wow, I haven't got a clue. I had an idea, but it didn't work...

I'm not totally certain that:
de
oz
orx
ub
xm
il
isn't the answer

[20] I had several ideas, none of them panned out. I've officially given up on this one. I just don't see it.

I think we all tried to make this a lot harder than it needed to be. I tried shifting the letters both before and after conversion. No shifts are needed.
[20] [22] Think inverse tanga number.

I got it with a hint from the maker. Had the right method but didn't realize it. Just goes to show you can't trust an anagram site.
Good puzzle.

85 with four letters and an extrapolation.

in many ways, that took me way too long to figure out.

[5] Look at the integral again. It comes out to 0, easy-peasy.
