Formula errors
Great reference. The only complaint that I have is that it seems that publishers of scientific books are ambiguous with their formulas. Instead of "W/m^2 sr", I would like to either see W/(m^2*sr) or (W·m^(−2)·sr^(−1)). Because of order of operation rules (PEMDAS), one might be led to believe W/m^2 sr could be (W*m^2)*sr. I had to check online for a sanity check to make sure that the steradians (sr) belonged in the denominator position. I don't mean to be so "nit-picky" but it's one of my pet peeves when people get sloppy with mathematical notation. I've seen some books that If I fixed all the bad mathematical notation, I could republish the book without infringing any copyright laws. <-- (exaggeration alert)Please correct me if you think I'm wrong about this.
