Abstract

Units-of-measure are to science what types are to programming. In science and engineering, dimensional and unit consistency provides a first check on the correctness of an equation or formula, just as in programming the validation of a program by the type-checker eliminates one possible reason for failure. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
