Apps Creating a unique app

I have an app idea, which, incredibly, appears to have not yet been done, and therefore is completely unique. For that reason, what my app does will for now remain secret. At the most basic level, it performs a calculation on values that the user enters and outputs a vital calculation, which almost every person on the planet would use on a daily basis. I tried to find this particular calculation, and it appears to not be found written anywhere, even on general websites.
So there are some questions.
1. How can I hide the mathematical formula that I will use to perform this calculation, so it cannot be found by users exploring the apk?
2. Can I sue/order rip off apps to be removed from the app store or be monetized to pay me? (Can I copyright my app idea to stop it from being made into a thousand rip offs and robbing me of money?)
 
Unfortunately not. If your app idea is any good, it will be reversed engineered, and copied.
