We study the isometric immersion problem for orientable surface triangle meshes endowed with only a metric: given the combinatorics of the mesh together with edge lengths, approximate an isometric immersion into R3. To address this challenge we develop a

Metrication Progress in the United Kingdom [PDF]
Engineering Issues: Journal of Professional Activities, 1972 Metric has been legal in Britain since 1897. The present concerted change and the completion target of 1975 was decided by industry in 1965. The change is voluntary but there is a need for overall coordination. This is the role of the Metrication Board which also has the task of publicizing the change. Another important form of coordination is provided

Medicine, Metrication, and SI Units
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1980PUBLIC Law 94-168, the Metric Conversion Act of 1975, specifies that the transition to a metric system of measurements in the United States be a voluntary process rather than a conversion in a fixed period of time by government regulation. To assist voluntary conversion to the metric system of weights and measures, and in particular, to SI units ...

It is customary in elementary particle physics and field theories to choose the system of units such that the resulting expressions assume a simple form. In particular, instead of working with the usual three mechanical units for length, mass and time one introduces three basic units for velocity, action and length.

Units of Measurement and the Metric System
1990This unit covers all of the problems that we encounter in everyday situations concerned with using units. Although in this country we are now using a metric system, there are some non-metric units still in use, and we sometimes need to be able to convert from one to another.

Metrication—an apology for SI units
Electronics and Power, 1969As the date for the change to the metric system in Britain approaches, the propaganda offered so far to the engineering fraternity seems to have failed in its task. Possibly this is because different approaches are required to `imperialists? and to `grammarians?.
