1. Outline of non-electromagnetic systems of units -- The basic idea of a unit -- Fundamental and derived units -- Analysis of equations and formulas -- Dimensionless parameters -- The CGS and MKS mechanical systems of units -- The U and N operators -- Temperature units -- Dimensionless units -- Removal of the universal gas constant from the ideal gas law -- Removal of the speed of light from relativistic equations -- Invariant units, connecting units, and addition of extra dimensions -- Simultaneous removal of h, c, and K -- References.

In classical Newtonian mechanics, equations and formulas never change form. The same cannot be said about equations and formulas of electromagnetic theory, which often change form when converted from one system of units to another. Douglas Cohen provides exactly what the technical professional needs: a thorough explanation of how to convert electromagnetic equations from one system of units to another.
