Descriptive Definitions of UnitChoice Conversions

For each UnitChoice, it is possible to define a conversion factor and a conversion bias. These are defined in the properties ConversionFactorFromSIFormula and ConversionBiasFromSIFormula respectively, which are string values. The content of these strings is the code to calculate the conversion factor and the conversion bias. The code is in plain C#. If the code involves some mathematics operator like square root or Pi, these need to be fully qualified, i.e., System.Math.Sqrt or System.Math.Pi. Otherwise, it is possible to use already defined Factors, like Factors.Inch. These factors are also defined as formulas as a function of other definition. This symbolic definition of the conversion factor and bias allows to generate a comprehensive description of the conversion factors and bias by calling the method GetConversionDescription of UnitChoice.

Here is the result obtained on calling GetConversionDescription on the Fahrenheit unit choice:

[v] = a * [SI] + b where [v] is the value in fahrenheit [SI] is the value in SI, i.e., in kelvin a = 1.0/FahrenheitSlope, i.e., 1.7999999999999998 b = -FahrenheitBias, i.e., -459.67 and FahrenheitSlope = 5.0 / 9.0 reference: https://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit FahrenheitBias = 459.67 reference: https://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit

and here is the result obtained with the Furlong unit choice:

[v] = a * [SI] where [v] is the value in furlong [SI] is the value in SI, i.e., in metre a = 1.0/Furlong, i.e., 0.004970969537898672 and Furlong = 660.0 * Foot reference: https://www.britannica.com/science/furlong Foot = 12.0 * Inch Inch = 0.0254 reference: https://www.nist.gov/pml/owm/si-units-length
