This is a list of physical and mathematical constants named after people. [1] Eponymous constants and their influence on scientific citations have been discussed in the literature. [ 2 ] [ a ]
The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured. Many of these are redundant, in the sense that they obey a known relationship with other physical ...

Two of the base SI units and 17 of the derived units are named after scientists. [2] 28 non-SI units are named after scientists. By this convention, their names are immortalised. As a rule, the SI units are written in lowercase letters, but symbols of units derived from the name of a person begin with a capital letter.
Stefan's constant, law (a.k.a. Stefan–Boltzmann constant, law) – Jožef Stefan (and Ludwig Boltzmann) Stensen's duct – Niels Stensen; Stern–Levison parameter – S. Alan Stern and Harold F. Levison; Stevens effect – Joseph C. and Stanley Smith Stevens; Stevens's power law – Stanley Smith Stevens; Stewart's organs – Charles Stewart
