Description

• 

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:

ax+bxa+b[x]

ax+byaza+bzb[z]

axa[x]

axbxabz0[z]

1ax1a[1x]

axrar[xr]

abab

  

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