Detailed Description

class to represent the International System of Units (SI) The SI is founded on seven SI base units for seven base quantities assumed to be mutually independent: Base quantity SI base unit Name Symbol length meter m mass kilogram kg time second s electric current ampere A thermodynamic temperature kelvin K amount of substance mole mol luminous intensity candela cd The class allows to represent any unit by composing it from the seven base units through specification of the exponents. E.g. 1Newton = 1kg*m/sec^2 can be created as follows: Unit(1,1,-2,0,0,0,0); see http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units for more information on units.
