Natural Units

I am building up on this video by Kieran Borovac. I will provide forward (from SI, labeled F\boldsymbol{F}) and backward (to SI, labeled B\boldsymbol{B}) matrices for each system, where the rows represent SI values and columns the corresponding system values. The rows in the backward matrices represent SI units: s,m,kg,A,K,cd,mols, m, kg, A, K, cd, mol, in forward matrices, these are represented by columns. The units are represented by column vectors and are multiplied with the matrix for conversion.

Units: c,m,kg,A,K,cd,molc, m, kg, A, K, cd, mol.

Units: c,G,M,A,K,cd,molc, G, M, A, K, cd, mol. The matrices are the same as geometrized units.

To convert values, set the calculator to forward transformation (SI → [system]). To convert from the selected system to SI, multiply by the units and to convert from SI to the selected system divide by the units.
