Equalities and Inequalities in the Standard Units Environment
Description
Examples
In the Standard Units environment, the equality and inequality operators (=,<,≤,>,≥, and≠) are modified so that they perform the necessary operations on expressions with units.
The properties of the five arithmetic operations are:
A⁢Unit⁡a=B⁢Unit⁡b→A=r⁢B
A⁢Unit⁡a<B⁢Unit⁡b→A<r⁢B
A⁢Unit⁡a≤B⁢Unit⁡b→A≤r⁢B
A⁢Unit⁡a>B⁢Unit⁡b→A>r⁢B
A⁢Unit⁡a≥B⁢Unit⁡b→A≥r⁢B
A⁢Unit⁡a≠B⁢Unit⁡b→A≠r⁢B
where a and b are units; A and B are coefficients; and r is the conversion factor from the unit b to the unit a.
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.
