All printed quantities and units are currently valid and standardized in ISO/IEC.

The book includes:

brief introduction to the development of the system of units

overview on the system of quantities and units

calculating with quantity values

units (international system of units, SI)

notation of numbers

mathematical symbols

Standardized symbols for quantities (mechanics, space and time, radiation, solid state physics, etc.), elements, nuclides, particles and quantum states.
