Appendix 1. SI Units

We typically denote numerical values in scientific notation with a number in the interval $[1,10)$, multiplied by a power of ten, followed by a combination of the following units:

time	second	s , sec
length	meter	m
mass	kilogram	kg

Occasionally, the power of ten is indicated by one of the following abbreviations

d	dezi	$10^{-1}$
c	centi	$10^{-2}\qquad\qquad$	h	hekto	$10^2$
m	milli	$10^{-3}\qquad\qquad$	k	kilo	$10^3$
$\mu$	micro	$10^{-6}$	M	mega	$10^6$
n	nano	$10^{-9}$	G	giga	$10^9$
n	pico	$10^{-12}$	T	tera	$10^{12}$
f	femto	$10^{-15}$	P	peta	$10^{15}$
