It's about rounding numbers to their nearest whole number. Example, 1.3 gets rounded down to 1. Any number above x.5 is rounded up to the next whole number, so 1.5 or greater gets rounded up to 2.

Taking a mathematics example, 1.3 plus 1.3 equals 2.6. This rounded to the nearest whole number is 3.

Can you say Albeit literature does not explain ..instead of although or however?

Dictionaries define "albeit" as meaning "although," "even though," or "notwithstanding," and it comes from the expression "although it be." However, "albeit" cannot be used to introduce a subordinate clause. For this reason, "although literature does not explain" is correct, but "albeit literature does not explain" is not correct.The following show correct usage of "albeit":His English was fluent, albeit heavily accented.The hotel restaurant featured an expensive albeit unimpressive brunch.Albeit boring, the lecture contained important concepts.

Is house' directions a correct grammar?

The apostrophe floating on its own at the end of a word is not usually correct in the singular form, and it is certainly incorrect in "house' directions". Write instead "house directions". If the plural is required, the apostrophe at the end of a word is correct. For example, when seeking the directions to a group of houses, it is correct (though somewhat awkward) to write houses' directions.

Probably, though it would be easier to tell if you had actually posted the formula instead of just assuming we knew which one you were talking about. Note that mathematically correct just means it gives a result; it may or may not be scientifically correct in terms of giving a useful and meaningful result.
