On the dimensional consistency of physics textbook equations

[PDF] [Latex source]

Basically, I was frustrated with the fact that most physics textbooks mess up units when giving functions (such as describing the position of a particle with respect to time). The reality is that textbooks try to simplify the formulations. Once I realised that, I wrote this paper talking about some of my reasoning and findings. I shared this paper on Reddit and received some valuable feedback. I now realise that I unreasonably dismissed certain explanations (such as taking the independent variable as dimesionless to make equations consistent), however I have not modified the paper.

Monkey doing a multiple choice exam

[PDF] [Latex source]

What if you guessed answers randomly on a multiple choice exam? What score would you get? In this paper, I applied combinatorics to find the probability distribution of getting certain scores.
