Arithmetic Operators in the Simple Units Environment

Description

• 

In the Simple Units environment, the arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, and ^) are modified so that they perform the necessary operations on expressions with units.

• 

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.

• 

Given units x and y, the properties of the five arithmetic operators are:

aUnitx+bUnitxa+bUnitx

aUnitx+bUnityaza+bzbUnitz

aUnitxaUnitx

aUnitxbUnityabz0Unitz

1aUnitx1aUnit1x

aUnitxrarUnitxr

abab

  

where r is a rational number; z is an appropriate unit from the currently selected system; and za, zb, and z0 are appropriate multipliers.

  

Note: Prior to Maple 2015, units were displayed surrounded by double brackets.

with(Units[Simple]):

3*Unit('m')+7*Unit('ft');

64171250m

(1)

(3*Unit('cm'/'s'^2))*(7*Unit('g'));

21100000N

(2)

-(32*Unit('m'));

32m

(3)

1/(32*Unit('S'));

1321S

(4)

(3*Unit('m'))^2;

9m2

(5)

4^x;

4x

(6)
