There is no excuse for that sort of thing these days when computational tools such as Maxima exist to check the dimensional consistency of equations.

- cinntaile 3y agoI can't find the homepage for Maxima?
- jxf 3y agoIt's here: https://maxima.sourceforge.io/project.html https://maxima.sourceforge.io/project.html
- forgotpwd16 3y agoThere wouldn't if the computer algebra step was integrated in the typesetting. Rather you first derive/verify the equations in a CAS and then write them in TeX for the paper. Even if export (like Mathematica) you may still decide to fix formatting a bit doing a seemingly obvious change which ends up changing the expression.
