#9763: Metrology module (a different implementation of the units module)
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: cousteau | Owner: burcin
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: symbolics | Keywords: units, SI, metrology
Author: Javier Mora | Upstream: N/A

---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
This is a module that implements physical units in a more convenient way
than the already existing units module: instead of creating separate
variables for each unit, it creates an object containing the value, the
dimension (mass, length, time...) as a list, and the units as an
expression, plus the conversion factor.
It includes an easy-to-use function to create units from a string,
implements `SI` prefixes and has a nice `LaTeX` output.
TO DO: Add more units (there are currently only 74, plus 13 constants),
review the documentation and code in case it doesn't follow the Sage
style, modify sage/symbolic/all.py to include this module (adding "import
metrology" causes Sage to throw exceptions when starting).
