Some people use square brackets to denote dimension. I'm not 100% sure if they are used in this case. I would use these if you are desperate but be explicit and don't assume the reader understands. R = $[J] [K^{-1}] [mol^{-1}]$ edit: on the other hand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckingham_%CF%80_theorem Buckingham Pi Theorem uses dimensional analysis, wikipedia uses lower case to denote the dimensions. I think that is confusing at first sight. |
