Comment on We can't all be astronauts.
sga@piefed.social 3 days agowell i have learnt something, thanks. i usually just unitalicise names (so here, that would be moon and me, but not N, kg, m). I have seen units italicised a lot (professor notes, even papers), so i assumed it was accepted. i have seen normal ones too, and bold also (that is usually for vector quantities i think).

Yup. The reason I unitalicise names is to stop the wide kerning. It’s moon and me, not 𝑚 𝑜 𝑜 𝑛 and 𝑚 𝑒.

well vectors and matrices are both tensors, so and iirc, while writing by hand, we use lines to denote dimesions (1 and 2 respectively), and we use bold while typing
