Natural units

Natural units

In physics, natural units are physical units of measurement in which only universal physical constants are used as defining constants, such that each of these constants acts as a coherent unit of a quantity. For example, the elementary charge e may be used as a natural unit of electric charge, and the speed of light c may be used as a natural unit of speed. A purely natural system of units has all of its units defined such that each of these can be expressed as a product of powers of defining physical constants. Through nondimensionalization, physical quantities may then redefined so that the defining constants can be omitted from mathematical expressions of physical laws, and while this has the apparent advantage of simplicity, it may entail a loss of clarity due to the loss of information for dimensional analysis. It precludes the interpretation of an expression in terms of constants, such as e and c, unless it is known which units (in dimensionful units) the expression is supposed to have. In this case, the reinsertion of the correct powers of e, c, etc., can be uniquely determined. (Wikipedia).

The realm of natural numbers | Data structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 155

Here we look at a somewhat unfamiliar aspect of arithmetic with natural numbers, motivated by operations with multisets, and ultimately forming a main ingredient for that theory. We look at natural numbers, together with 0, under three operations: addition, union and intersection. We will

Reconsidering natural numbers and arithmetical expressions | Data structures Math Foundations 185

It is time to turn our gaze back to the true foundations of the subject: arithmetic with natural numbers. But now we know that the issue of "What exactly is a natural number?" is fraught with subtlety. We adopt a famous dictum of Errett Bishop, and start to make meaningful distinctions bet

What is a number ?

Construction of Natural Numbers In this, I rigorously define the concept of a natural number, using Peano's axioms. I also explain why those axioms are the basis for the principle of mathematical induction. Enjoy! Check out my Real Numbers Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=

Units in a Ring (Abstract Algebra)

The units in a ring are those elements which have an inverse under multiplication. They form a group, and this “group of units” is very important in algebraic number theory. Using units you can also define the idea of an “associate” which lets you generalize the fundamental theorem of ar

Multisets and a new framework for arithmetic | Data Structures Math Foundations 187

Here we go back to the first videos in this series and recast that discussion in a more solid direction by utilizing our understanding of multisets. The crucial point is to define what a natural number is in a clear way. This issue is far more subtle than is generally acknowledged. For u
