Sounds good but please DO NOT USE upper cases. It is not only about PEP8 but more about consistency and cognitive load.

We solve this problem by writing down the dimensions in the docstrings and also include the math expressions there. But it is already obvious that writing down the dimensions in the var names makes things much easier.
