The copyright holder grants you permission to redistribute this document freely as a verbatim copy. Furthermore, the copyright holder permits you to develop any derived work from this document provided that the following conditions are met. a) The derived work acknowledges the fact that it is derived from this document, and maintains a prominent reference in the work to the original source. b) The fact that the derived work is not the original OpenMath document is stated prominently in the derived work. Moreover if both this document and the derived work are Content Dictionaries then the derived work must include a different CDName element, chosen so that it cannot be confused with any works adopted by the OpenMath Society. In particular, if there is a Content Dictionary Group whose name is, for example, `math' containing Content Dictionaries named `math1', `math2' etc., then you should not name a derived Content Dictionary `mathN' where N is an integer. However you are free to name it `private_mathN' or some such. This is because the names `mathN' may be used by the OpenMath Society for future extensions. c) The derived work is distributed under terms that allow the compilation of derived works, but keep paragraphs a) and b) intact. The simplest way to do this is to distribute the derived work under the OpenMath license, but this is not a requirement. If you have questions about this license please contact the OpenMath society at http://www.openmath.org. Author: Joseph B. Collins (2009), Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC.

2010-08-25 This CD defines symbols to represent the names of named derived units the SI (Syst\'eme International) system of units. (DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 80000-1 - "Quantities and units", 2008). Each unit refers to a corresponding derived quantity in SI_DerivedQuantities.ocd.
This symbol represents one gram. This unit is implied by the incorporation of the prefix "kilo" in the base unit standard, kilogram. Since SI prefixes may not, by SI standard, be presented by prepending to "kilogram", the gram is introduced for the application of prefixes. By itself, gram should not appear in SI compliant presentation. It has the short symbol form, "g".
[Next: radian] [Last: katal] [Top] |
This symbol represents one radian, the natural unit of measure for angle. It has the short symbol form, "rad".
[Next: steradian] [Previous: gram] [Top] |
This symbol represents one steradian, the natural unit of measure for solid angle. It has the short symbol form, "sr".
[Next: hertz] [Previous: radian] [Top] |
This symbol represents an SI unit of frequency. It has the short symbol form, "Hz".
