Place with all components of all formulas explained?

In summary, the conversation discusses the difficulty of finding a comprehensive resource for understanding all components of physics formulas. The responder suggests that different fields of science may use unique notation and that one would have to delve into each field individually to fully understand the formulas. They use the example of chemistry and its use of superscripts and subscripts in chemical formulas to illustrate this point.

Homework Statement


Is there a place where I could find every component of every physics formula explained? I know basic stuff like that a line over a variable means average. But, I have no idea what the various subscripts and superscripts on the formulas mean. Thanks for reading

Not really. You'd have to delve into the details of different fields of science individually. General mathematical terms are standardized as far as I know, but different fields may use different or unique notation for certain things. For example, in chemistry you'll see chemical formulas that use superscripts and subscripts to indicate various properties of an atom/molecule. You'd have to learn chemistry to learn what these mean and when they are used.
