Abstract
The article discusses the importance of the ordering of symbols in physics formulas and identify conventions that rule the standard form for how formulas are written and interpreted. The elements of this form consisting of constants, parameters, and variables have been identified. Instructors are encouraged to make this convention explicit and encourage its use to assist students.
