SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Listed here is information which you may find useful in problem-solving. You should note that most problems will be done in terms of SI or Systeme Internationale units. These are the standard units of length, time, mass, etc. that the scientific world has agreed upon for use in publications and research.

For your pleasure and amusement is a set of unit conversion calculations thanks to Jonathan Weesner.

A comprehensive listing of physical constants is available via the National Institute of Standards Internet site which lists many fundamental physical constants.

There are also directories for chemistry information and a server which gives you conversions between units which don't appear in the above tables.

For general information on constants (mathematical, physical, chemical, and otherwise), including the infamous googolplex and 5000 digits of Pi, consult the YAHOO science reference page.
