uforget

Maxima Function

Calling Sequence

uforget (list)

Description

By default, the unit package converts all units to the seven fundamental dimensions using MKS units. This behavior can be changed with the setunits command. After that, the user can restore the default behavior for a particular dimension by means of the uforget command:

(%i13) setunits([centigram,inch,minute]);
(%o13)                               done
(%i14) centigram*inch/minutes^2;
                                    %in cg
(%o14)                              ------
                                        2
                                    %min
(%i15) uforget([cg,%in,%min]);
(%o15)                      [false, false, false]
(%i16) centigram*inch/minutes^2;
                                  127        kg m
(%o16)                      (-------------) (----)
                             1800000000000     2
                                              s

uforget operates on dimensions, not units, so any unit of a particular dimension will work. The dimension itself is also a legal argument.
