Description

• 

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

• 

In the Simple Units environment, the polar function is overloaded with a function that removes any units from the first argument and multiplies the result by that unit. The argument t must be unitless. With the model that the Simple Units environment uses for verifying dimensions, that includes quantities with the dimension of plane angle.

• 

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 polar.

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.
