Not entirely ... but partially. That's one way you can start to learn. Usually formulas are presented with a broad gloss in English (or other) to let you know roughly what it is saying, with the formula just being a precise way of saying it that can subsequently be used in algebraic manipulations. Example: The force due to the Earth's gravity is represented by g at the surface, and falls off as an inverse square. Thus: F_d = g(R/d)^2 where R is the radius of the Earth.
