ES.45 - Magic numbers in math operations

Hi!

I have a question about ES.45. The way it's written, it bans any use of magic numbers (except a positive list of exceptions for the most common numbers, like 0, 1, etc). While I think the rule makes complete sense and I fully agree with the provided example, I believe it's detrimental when writing code that implements math, for example implementing a scientific paper in code:

// From paper X, Equation 2)
double x = 0.123 * y + 0.456 * z + 0.5 * w;

Versus:

// From paper X, Equation 2)
double x = kConstant0123 * y + kConstant0456 * z + kHalf * w;

Readability is greatly reduced in this case, plus makes reviewing the code much harder. The code is easier to review if it visually looks as similar as possible to the original source in the paper.

A solution is to add these magic constants to a list of "accepted" magic constants, but it feels that list can easily grow and defeat the purpose.

What do you think? Would it make sense to document this use case and offer some sensible advice?

Thanks!
