    When the unit group has rank ≥ 1, a basis of it modulo its torsion is called a fundamental system of units. [1] Some authors use the term fundamental unit to mean any element of a fundamental system of units, not restricting to the case of rank 1 (e.g. Neukirch 1999 , p. 42).

    Note that if K is Galois over then either r 1 = 0 or r 2 = 0.. Other ways of determining r 1 and r 2 are . use the primitive element theorem to write = (), and then r 1 is the number of conjugates of α that are real, 2r 2 the number that are complex; in other words, if f is the minimal polynomial of α over , then r 1 is the number of real roots and 2r 2 is the number of non-real complex ...

    [3] The current international standard for the metric system is the International System of Units (Système international d'unités or SI). It is a system in which all units can be expressed in terms of seven units. The units that serve as the SI base units are the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, and candela.

    The systems formalised the concept of a collection of related units called a coherent system of units. In a coherent system, base units combine to define derived units without extra factors. [4]: 2 For example, using metre per second is coherent in a system that uses metre for length and second for time, but kilometre per hour is not coherent.

    In physics, natural unit systems are measurement systems for which selected physical constants have been set to 1 through nondimensionalization of physical units.For example, the speed of light c may be set to 1, and it may then be omitted, equating mass and energy directly E = m rather than using c as a conversion factor in the typical mass–energy equivalence equation E = mc 2.
