Here, the audience is fairly large, comprising numerous fields. So, clarity in that context is different than what you use in your personal code. I create functions that start with capital letters all the time, but I understand the risks. Clearly, the individuals in the link you provided did not, and, yes, I've had some of the symbols I use trampled on by newer versions. It encourages me to encapsulate my code better. | |

When the constant is an array is it a vector or a matrix? And what happens in (x-Efermi) does x also become an array, if so what happens to the integration region?

@Nasser well, you know my opinion on that. Honestly, I wouldn't write kGRAVITATIONALCONSTANT or even GRAVITATIONAL_CONSTANT as they're to long. However, I would add comments if I thought it was unclear what they were. For the Fermi energy, I tend to use Ef. But, mostly I was just having fun with your need to insist everyone start their variable names with a lower case. Ultimately, though my opinion is whatever works as long as it is clear. Of course, clarity depends on the audience.

@Nasser Considering that he's talking about the Fermi energy, EFermi would be even better.

This is not really a Mathematica question. For the Mathematica part, you may use Map to get an array.

Integral, dx isn't correct syntax. Is this a definite or indefinite integral? What are the limits, what are examples for Constants?

E==Exp[1] so that is a bad choice as a parameter
