Calculator reviewer — physics and engineering
V. Kowalski reviews the physics and engineering calculators, checking that each page states the physical model it assumes and that the stated model matches the formula actually implemented. Review covers unit consistency throughout a calculation and whether approximations are flagged where the underlying physics is more complicated than the formula suggests.
What review means here
A reviewer is not the author. Before a calculator is published, the reviewer independently recomputes its worked test values, checks that the formula implemented matches the definition the page claims for it, and confirms the page is explicit about what it does not account for. Where a value is not definitional, the reviewer checks that a source is cited rather than assumed — and if one cannot be found, the calculator is dropped rather than guessed.
