Engineering in Higher Education -- significant figures
I am currently in my 4th semester.
It seems that every engineering textbooks I encounter have no regard of significant figures (SF).
Every problems and examples I encounter are like that. Mostly integers, some have decimal figures, but...
Thanks you all for your responses!
Still confused with conversion.
For example
\ln \frac{46°F}{70°F} ≠ \ln \frac{506°R}{530°R}
If the units inside ln are the same, then the number inside ln is without unit (the units cancel each other).
Thus how come the calculations above are not equal...
