This package is currently under development and is not yet stable.
It will contain 3 main features:
Dimensional analysis
Quantity mathematics
Unit conversions
Data Structure
How is the data structured? Remember the acronym "QUAD"! Math is performed primarily using quantities, which is the outermost structure. Let's say you have a quantity of \(5 [kN]\), for instance.
Quantity (5) [What is the value of measurement?]
Unit (kN) [What is the unit of measurement?]
Attribute (force) [What is being measured?]
Dimension (\(\frac{\textbf{ML}}{\textbf{T}^{2}}\)) [What are the base dimensions?]
