El Troll is correct Celsius is the correct spelling.
Here is a different formula to conmvert Celsius to Farenheit
TF = (TC + 40)(5/9) -40
and vice versa
TC = (TF + 40)(9/5) -40
This set of equations is based on the observation that -40 °F = -40°C.
Then you only have to remember the factor 5/9 and whether Celsius degrees
are larger or smaller to determine whether you multiply by 5/9 or 9/5.
