It's not incorrect, it's just the way engineers do equations.
e = mc
π = 3
g = 10 m/s²

Well, what is then the last symbol doing in the last line?

And m represents mass, not matter. Matter has mass, but that doesn't mean it is mass.

In natural units, where c = ħ =1, both statements are equally true. But then, the whole premise is lost because in these units, E = m (for stationary bodies).

Why multiply? Light doesn't do that.
