Roadmap for Formal Mathematical Physics Content

 

Explanation: While the tagging of content in a Latex document (e.g., sections, words, expressions) can be useful for linking and searches, there are many implied steps in the original Latex document that are undocumented. The Physics Derivation Graph is a way to document all the implied steps and their associated inference rules.

Who does the work: manual entry using a webform.

Motivation for the work: clearer connectivity of derivation steps. Enables validation of steps.

due to gravitational acceleration.
question What is the speed of the object when it is distance \(r\) from the moon?
