class nodimo.product.Product(*factors: Quantity, name: str = '', dependent: bool = False, scaling: bool = False, reduce: bool = True)[source]¶

Product of quantities.

Parameters:

*quantitiesQuantity: Quantities to be multiplied.
namestr, default=’’: Name (symbol) to be used as the product representation.
dependentbool, default=False: If True, the product is dependent.

>>> from nodimo import Quantity, Product
>>> a = Quantity('a', A=-2, B=1)
