Arithmetic Operators in the Natural Units Environment
Description
Examples
In the Natural Units environment, the arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, and ^) are modified so that they perform the necessary operations on expressions with units.
Given units x and y, the properties of the five arithmetic operators are:
a⁢x+b⁢x→a+b⁢[x]
a⁢x+b⁢y→a⁢za+b⁢zb⁢[z]
−a⁢x→−a⁢[x]
a⁢x⁢b⁢x→a⁢b⁢z0⁢[z]
1a⁢x→1a⁢[1x]
a⁢xr→ar⁢[xr]
ab→ab
where r is a rational number; z is an appropriate unit from the given system; and za, zb, and z0 are appropriate multipliers.
