Unit 1
Magnitudes. International System units (SI)

Base units (fundamental): units that can be determined directly

without the need for a second magnitude.

example?

Derivatives: units that to be determined more than one

fundamental unit is needed.

If the number is bigger than 1:

10000000000000000000000000000 = 1027

The exponent will be positive

It represents number of zeros after the number one

If the number is smaller than 1:

0,0000000000000000001 = 10-19

The exponent will be negative

It represents the amount of numbers until the coma
