Abstract

A novel and systematic dimensional analysis is presented. A few new concepts such as “quantity class”and “class of unit systems”are coined, and a clear cut definition of “dimension”is provided. A self-contented proof of the theorem is presented based on these new concepts, and two examples illustrating the great power of the theorem are also given.

Key words： quantity; number; system of units; dimension.
