Have you ever wondered about using dimensional analysis in mathematics, as we do in physics.

For example, the Pythagoras formula is:

a^2+b^2=c^2

which relates the surface areas of squares resting on different sides of a right-angled triangle.

Therefore, based on a simple dimensional analysis, we may conclude:

a^2+b^2, could NOT be equal to c^3, due to conflict of dimensions.

This is a simple example. How about using dimensional analysis in other mathematics problems.

Please, feel free to share with me, your idea and comment.
