Dimensional Analysis for Unit Conversion Using MATLAB

Dimensional Analysis for Unit Conversion Using MATLAB and the accompanying MATLAB app package will accurately convert values from one unit of measure to another using standard conversion factors. The book describes how to use the app, and the app comes in the CD packaged with the book. The app performs conversions from and to the inch-pound system units used in the USA and the International System of Units (SI) as documented in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publications of conversions for general use. There are 1,316 conversion factors available for bidirectional conversion from / to SI units, organized into 44 minor subsections by topic under eight major topical sections. There is also an alphabetical section comprising 445 conversion factors for unidirectional conversion to SI units. It also converts CGS and other "unacceptable" units (conversion factors not for general use, i.e. as in science, engineering, etc.).
