c0 + c1 / 2 + c2 / 6 + ... + cn / (n+n^2)

I believe. At least for the computers.

And computers are stacked automaticly in order (i guess).

35% + 34%(1+2/2)+33%(2+2/3)...

or something close to that. I'm not sure about the order, is it cost, accu, def or what.

shields are simple 1 shield give full power  2nd sheild give 1/2 power 3rd give 1/3 power do the math then - 3 since you have 3 shields.  that is the basics.  however if you drop too much from the 1st and 3rd shield the average of the shields will also come into play. IE  a 30 and a 10 will give you ~ 20 since the difference in the shield power the average comes into play.

I'm unfortunately not extremely good at maths, so I have been wondering if anyone could throw me an example

Assuming my computers are all 20% acc.

c0 + c1 / 2 + c2 / 6 + ... + cn / (n+n^2)

20 + 20 / 2 + 20 / 6 + ... + cn / (n+n^2)

What does ... stand for?
What does cn stand for?
What does n   stand for?

... is a math term meaning that the formula goes on until it has reahed the number n. N represents the number of the shield in the system, ie: the 1st shield, the 2nd shield.... I assume that cn is the %.

okay, so I'm intending to run 3 or 4 computers at 20% each. How would I work that out?

20 + 20 / 2 + 20 /  ?  (n+3^2)
    40         22       

20 + 20 / 2 + 20 / 6 + 20 /  ?    (n+4^2)
   40          22        26     

I have no idea how you guys think 'n' is a number....

here it is with 4

20 + 20/(1+1^2) + 20/(2+2^2) + 20/(3+3^2)

20 + 20/(2) + 20/(6) + 20/(12)

20 + 10 + 3 1/3 + 1 2/3

= 35%

Thezerg you might want to look to your formula again as it is incorrect. I could now give you the correct formula but that would ruin the fun, right?
