I made myself the same question: what do you want to accomplish with all
that math? Maybe we can help you to achieve your goal in a simpler way (I
also didn't understand the math).

I once have calibrated a fish eye lens with the hugin tutorial. It took me
some hours to make the pictures, understand the concepts and achieve a good
result. Later I have discovered that I didn't need to do that to make a
full sphere panorama. Hugin - and probably PTGui - can do the necessary
distortions based on control points and in a defined angle - like the 360
of the full sphere.

Here is the hugin tutorial I mentioned:
