Description

• 

In the Simple Units environment, any verifications of valid dimensions ignore so-called Unit annotations.

• 

In the Simple Units environment, the eval function is overloaded to evaluate an expression, taking units into account.

• 

Every command in the Simple Units environment that needs to determine whether an expression is valid or not, does so using the Units:-TestDimensions command.

• 

For other properties, see the global function eval.

Examples

> 

with⁡UnitsSimple:

The following defines velocity in terms of the acceleration_of_free_fall unit (gn) and the variable height.

Notes: 

– 

To enter a unit in 2-D Math input, select the unit from the appropriate Units palette. If the unit you want is not there, select unit and then enter the unit.

– 

When you edit a unit, double brackets appear around it.
