Solve what? It's an equation, don't you have to substitute numbers in before you solve anything?

The engineer's "favorite equation" is actually a part of the equation used to govern character lighting in-game.

No one's solving anything, unless you code for TF2.

pretty sure it's for calculating shine/specular highlights in one of the shaders

No, because it's a formula, not an equation.

I didn't learn it until College Algebra I.

spec is short for specular. Rim is just that, rim lighting.
