  • Operations on quantities: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to powers, comparison
  • Conversions between units
  • Switching between unit names and symbols
  • Mappings to the unit representations of the Java JScience library (enabling integration with the AMEE platform)
  • A configurable system of physical quantities, units and unit prefixes
