  2. Equivalence of metrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_of_metrics

    Two metrics and on X are strongly or bilipschitz equivalent or uniformly equivalent if and only if there exist positive constants and such that, for every ,, (,) (,) (,).In contrast to the sufficient condition for topological equivalence listed above, strong equivalence requires that there is a single set of constants that holds for every pair of points in , rather than potentially different ...

  3. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity.

    Metric conversion may refer to: Converting a non-metric quantity to the metric equivalent; see " Conversion of units " Conversion of a country from non-metric units to metric units; see " Metrication "

    The metric system is extensible since the governing body reviews, modifies and extends it needs arise. For example, the katal, a derived unit for catalytic activity equivalent to one mole per second (1 mol/s), was added in 1999. [6]

  6. List of metric units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metric_units

    Metric units are units based on the metre, gram or second and decimal (power of ten) multiples or sub-multiples of these. According to Schadow and McDonald, [ 1 ] metric units, in general, are those units "defined 'in the spirit' of the metric system, that emerged in late 18th century France and was rapidly adopted by scientists and engineers.

  8. Equivalence (measure theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_(measure_theory)

    In mathematics, and specifically in measure theory, equivalence is a notion of two measures being qualitatively similar. Specifically, the two measures agree on which events have measure zero. Specifically, the two measures agree on which events have measure zero.

    British media also frequently uses the football pitch for equivalent purposes, although soccer pitches are not of a fixed size, but instead can vary within defined limits (100–130 yd or 91.4–118.9 m long, and 50–100 yd or 45.7–91.4 m wide, giving an area of 5,000 to 13,000 sq yd or 4,181 to 10,870 m 2).
