It would probably be better to have this discussion on the devel list,
not the bug tracker:

parted-devel <at> lists.alioth.debian.org

AFAIK nobody uses cylinders for anything these days. I certainly haven't
used them for over a decade. Why aren't you using sectors?

As far as understanding the math, you're probably going to have to look
at the code :)
