If you are interested in the form of math and physics, here comes `isphysicalmath` \ inside LaTeX; as far as international scientific notation and formatting of formulas, \ quantities, numerical values, factors, dimensions, measurement units. So, isphysicalmath` package helps user to write mathematical and physical contents, \ according to the scientific notation (international mainly), in an elegant way. # Dependencies `isphysicalmath` has xstring package dependency, but you don’t need to specify \ it in your document preamble. Internally, it uses standard commands like: \textnormal, \hspace{}, \,; however, \ it performs its activity in complex math environment too. # Documentation The documentation is `isphysicalmath-doc.pdf` mainly. It contains: - General Index - Introduction - Conventions - Dependencies - Usage - In-depth usage - In-depth formatting - In-depth notation - option 'dc' - command 'comma' - Rendering of a number as it multiplied by number ten raised to positive \ exponents of power - By first digit as leading digit, without truncated digits on the right of it - By first digit as leading digit, with truncated digits on the right of it - Rendering of a number as it multiplied by number ten raised to negative \ exponents of power - By first digit as leading digit, without truncated digits on the right of it - By first digit as leading digit, with truncated digits on the right of it - option 'flushpostdot' - isphysicalmath url - Copyright - Change History # Credits Thanks to all TeX/LaTeX contributors, in particular to Scott Pakin for his \ packaging tutorial, and to CTAN team for its tutoring, tools and services. # URL Package home URL: https://ctan.org/pkg/isphysicalmath # License Copyright (C) 2024 by Mario Fantini This file may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX \ Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) \ any later version.

However, perfect operation of `isphysicalmath`\ was guarenteed before these corrections too. - I have removed `comma option`. - I have changed the order of `options` in the documentation index. - I have added the following new features: - `\ispmdexpp` command; - `\ispmdexppt` command; - `\ispmdexpm` command; - `flushpostdot` option; - I have changed my e-mail contact.
