Hi all,

I’m working on a physics equation reference and I’m trying to make the sourcing and explanations as reliable as possible.

When you look up a physics equation, what do you most want alongside it: assumptions, units, variable definitions, derivation, worked example, limits of use, or something else?

I’d really value input from people who study, teach, or use this material regularly.

Wildly guessing, thematize the equations according to textbook sections of a target book from which to be used for studying. One may state what each variable represents or the variables could be understood according to what is being studied. Would a published reference handbook do what you want?
