Is there a way to type engineering powers in Maple?

Question

Instead of typing 31600, can I use 31.6k?

I've tried to use but it doesn't work.

I also, would like to use other powers like micro, mili, nano...

Answer 1

I suppose your question leads to two possible solutions:

1) You can use the E-notation, which works in Maple. The following are equivalent:

31.6e3;
31.6E3;
31600.;

This works for small numbers also. The following are equivalent:

31.6e-6;
31.6E-6;
0.0000316;

2) The units package.

31600.*Unit(mm);
convert(%,units,'m');
