well i have learnt something, thanks. i usually just unitalicise names (so here, that would be moon and me, but not N, kg, m). I have seen units italicised a lot (professor notes, even papers), so i assumed it was accepted. i have seen normal ones too, and bold also (that is usually for vector quantities i think).
Yup. The reason I unitalicise names is to stop the wide kerning. It's moon and me, not ๐โ๐โ๐โ๐ and ๐โ๐.
In texts I've seen, bold variables are matrices.
well vectors and matrices are both tensors, so and iirc, while writing by hand, we use lines to denote dimesions (1 and 2 respectively), and we use bold while typing
