I think the example speaks for itself: In[1]:= << Miscellaneous`Units`; In[2]:= ?Gauss "Gauss is the derived CGS unit of magnetic flux density." In[3]:= CGS[Gauss] Out[3]= Tesla ----- 10000 Why am I getting the SI unit of flux density instead of the CGS unit? Disclaimer: I know that as a serious scientist, I shouldn't touch CGS with a 10 foot, er, 304.8 centimeter, pole, but I am working with some legacy models.
