I am a very new user so I apologize in advance if this question is too basic for the group. Many civil engineering equations are empirically derived and therefore the units dont work out exactly. How does Mathematica handle units in equations and especially in empirical equations where there may be parameters set to weird exponetial powers. Does the program use units at all in equations or does the user need to keep track?
