hi i need to make an amplifier which has

gain of 15

output impedence of 30 Ohm

input Impedence of 30 kOhm

this must be a cascade amplifier.

can some one explain how to do the calculations ??

i need all the formulas and the was how they determine :)

Did you look at the cascade amplifiers in Google?
They are simply one amplifier that is amplified by another amplifier.

The gain is only 15 so it should be easy. The first stage can be a common-emitter transistor.
The output impedance is very low so it should have an emitter-follower or a pair of complementary (NPN and PNP) emitter-followers as the second stage.
The input impedance is fairly high at 30k so the first transistor should have a fairly low current and an emitter resistor to increase the input impedance and reduce the gain.
