Topic 2 Lesson 2

Summary and Preview

 

Units and dimensions, systems of units, dimensional homogeneity

  This concludes our discussion of units and dimensions. I hope that the historical perspective on how the various units evolved has been interesting and that the peculiarities of the American Engineering system of units are clear.

Be sure to complete the homework for this lesson (see the course calendar) prior to the due date.

In the next lesson, we will finish our discussion of the preliminary concepts for the course by covering the topics of scientific notation, significant figures, and simple data representation and analysis.
