Hey!

I have developed a prototype Python package that deals with physical dimensional analysis:

https://github.com/cheind/sympy-nondim

In particular, sympy-nondim calculates from an unknown relation of (dimensional) variables, a new relation of (usually fewer) dimensionless variables.

While dimensional analysis is part of sympy.physics, it seems such a particular application of it is missing. Hence I wanted to know whether there is potential interest in having this as an addition to sympy.physics?

Best, Christoph

The people who work more closely with the units module should also
weigh in, but this looks like it would be useful. I would suggest
opening an issue to discuss this.

Aaron,

should I ping someone personally from the physics team? 

Best,
Christoph
