Algebraic theory of dimensional analysis.

An algorithm has been developed to calculate a complete optimized set of dimensionless products of the variables associated with a physical phenomenon from any complete set of dimensionless products. The algorithm is nonexhaustive and is readily adaptable for a digital computer. Illustrative examples are also given.
