RE: 03-02-2024 - Physics - Adimensionalization [EN]-[IT]

That's an interesting lesson. One interesting word I picked up is dimensionlesness, used to simply the study of something complex, I wonder if it is also applied to geometric shapes in mathematics. Thanks for the lesson and have a great weekend.

We start from the concept that the purpose of dimensionality is to simplify an equation in n variables and m dimensions into an equation with (n-m) dimensionless variables. The independent variables are essentially decreased. I believe that it exists both in mathematics and in physics, or rather especially in mathematics because from what I know, dimensionality is precisely a mathematical simplification. I couldn't tell you if it is also applied in the field of geometry, personally I would answer no
