One of the features of the
student calculator is the decimal (SI) mode, i.e.
all stored physical inbuilt physical values are in meters, this will not be always convenient for those who live in countries like
the USA and UK who use imperial values of miles and yards instead
of kilometers and meters.
Most work in physics research today uses the (SI) system, which represent
(System International d'Unites:) a complete metric system of units of
measurement for scientists; fundamental quantities are length (meter) and mass
(kilogram) and time (second) and electric current (ampere) and temperature
(Kelvin) and amount of matter (mole) and luminous intensity (candela); "Today
the United States is the only country in the world not totally committed to
the System International d'Unites" (SI).
Unfortunately unless a uniform system of measurement is used by the scientist,
he will not be able to relate atomic behavior under the standard (SI) measurement
system with systems outside of the (SI) system, under these circumstances, the
scientific comparisons will ultimately breakdown.
For this reason the student calculator defaults wherever possible to the decimal
meter system. Only in this way can internal atomic behavior be related
to its correct cosmic environment in the correct (SI) decimal format.
Values outside of the (SI) format can still be obtained using the conversion
tool facility available and built within the student calculator.
Whilst this may be considered as an inconvenience at this time, it will in the
future become a blessing for the scientist, in times to come.
The atom is as much apart of our environment as we are, and must be
mathematically considered as equal to our environment. This means that the
environment values and the atomic values must share the same (SI) reference
and be equal mathematically.
