Roughly speaking, Buckingham's $\Pi$-Theorem provides a method to "guess" the structure of physical formulas simply by studying the dimensions (the physical units) of the involved quantities. Here we will prove a quantitative version of…

Dimensional analysis is one of the most fundamental tools for understanding physical systems. However, the construction of dimensionless variables, as guided by the Buckingham-$\pi$ theorem, is not uniquely determined. Here, we introduce…
