Abstract
Many students have some difficulty with calculations. Simple dimensional analysis
provides a systematic means of checking for errors and inconsistencies and for developing both
new insight and new relationships between variables. Teaching dimensional analysis at even the
most basic level strengthens the insight and confidence of students, and provides them with a tool
that can be applied in almost any context
