Hi,
I am just getting started with sage. I'm an electrical engineer. One thing that was really nice about Mathcad was letting me know if my units were messed up. I see there are electrical units types, like "units.electrical_potential.volt" but I'm struggling to see how to use it in a real application.
For example, a resistor, do I do something like this for 220 ohm resistor?
R = 220 * units.resistance.ohms
And what I'd really like to do is then define a voltage:
V = 1*units.electrical_potential.volt
And then be able to just go like this to get the current through the resistor:
V/R
Which would output something like this:
0.00455 * units.current.amp
Or better yet, just:
4.55mA
I don't mind building my own class to achieve this functionality. I also need to create my own units, for example noise spectral density such as V*sqrt(Hz).
Anyways, I really like what I see with Sage so far, I tried to use PTC Mathcad a while back and was pulling my hair out... Sage seems super intuitive and flexible, just being able to type things out in the notebook is great.
Thank you!
Erik
