SLH 1101: Introduction to ULC's Latest Measurement System (SI-m Units)

Course Overview:
Lecture 1: Recap on the International System of Units (SI Units), Eg: 1m = 100cm;

Lecture 2: Basic overview of ULC's latest measurement system (SI-m Units);

Lecture 3: Correlation between SI Units and SI-m Units.
As Chapter 3 involves very convoluted calculations and forms the crux of this module, a brief summary has been provided as below for your advanced reading and understanding prior to Lecture 3. Pls refer to figure below for illustration (click to view full picture):

In the SI-m system of measurement,

-> 400.116 metres in SI Units = 200 SImetres;

pls take note that the statement above forms the fundamental basis of this new system

For ease of future applications, it may be assumed that,

-> 400metres in SI Units = 200 SImetres;

Hence,

-> 1 SImetre = 2 metres in SI Units

or alternatively in short-handed format,

-> 1m = 2SIm

(for ease of communication SIm may be pronounced as "sim" as in "sim card" "sim city" etc)

Course Structure

-> There are only 3 lectures in this module.

-> The rest of the semester will consist of practical sessions at the SRC swimming pool and Palawan Beach.

-> Practical sessions will allow students to have plenty of opportunities to apply and familiarise themselves with the new measurement system (SI-m Units) and the chance to have personalised instructional sessions with the founder (who will also be the lecturer of SLH 1101) of the SI-m Units measurement system.
