Abstract
A listing is proposed for the steps in the logic of dimensional analysis. Starting with the definition of a physical concept, the arguments proceed through the principles of measurement, by the specification of dimensional equality and the subsequent limitations of functional operations up to a derivation of the Pi-theorem of this analysis.Keywords
