Style sheet. These are the conventions used in this book. Vector quantities (F, g, v) are written in a bold, serif font — including vector quantities written with Greek symbols (α, τ, ω). Scalar quantities (m, K, t) and the magnitudes of vector quantities (F, g, v) are written in an italic, serif font — except for Greek symbols (α, τ ...

etc.). The two-letter symbols used to represent dimensionless combinations of physical quantities are an exception to this rule (see section 4.14 “Dimensionless parameters”). When such a two-letter symbol appears as a factor in a product it should be separated from the other symbols by a dot, by a space, or by parentheses.
