Excellent comment and I fully agree with almost everything. Just one tiny nitpick:
Unless you really need this complex calculation to be inline (e.g. for performance reasons) it would be better to move it into a function or method and include the algorithm in the name instead of adding a comment.
Very good! Your spidey senses are working perfectly. Hey I want to comment this calculation, why don't I move it into a function so the name can explain what it does. Good call!
Sometimes the algorithm is inlined for performance, sometimes it's a class with a bunch of functions that as a whole is primarily based on an algorithm, so comments might make sense in those cases. Most of the times it's a library, so the name of the library kinda gives it away and hopefully has good documentation as well.
