A very basic matlab class to hold physical and mathematical constants, and unit conversion factors

CONSTANTS_AND_UNITS

A very simple class to hold physical and mathematical constants and unit conversion methods.

Installation

Installation requires simply that you download CONSTANTS_AND_UNITS and add the base directory (the one that contains the +constants_and_units directory) to your Matlab path.

Dependencies

A recent version of Matlab is needed to run the code. The code has been developed in Matlab 2016a Academic version.

Usage

A constants object is created and used as in the following simple example:

c = constants_and_units.constants; % Create the object
c.eV2J(3); % Convert 3 eV to J

Testing

Unit tests are found in the /test subdirectory. After adding the package to your Matlab path, you can run all tests by executing runtests from this subdirectory.
