Dear All,
You might be interested in an article that I have posted on the
Metrication matters web page (http://www.metricationmatters.com.htm )
on the 'articles' page.
It is right at the top of the page at: http://
www.metricationmatters.com/articles.html
It is fairly short (less than 3 pages) and it explores the learning
paths you need to explore when you undertake a 'metric conversion'
program.
Here is a brief description:
To take the path of 'metric conversion' looks like a correct decision
because, on the surface, it looks simple. However, hidden behind this
apparent simplicity are three quite separate and distinct learning
paths. You and your companions will learn: about the metric system;
more than you ever needed to know about old pre-metric measures, and
a whole new world of conversion factors and how to use them. This 3
page article briefly explores these three learning paths.
Cheers,
