RECOMMENDED FOR

BRITISH SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS

A REPORT BY

THE SYMBOLS COMMITTEE OF

THE ROYAL SOCIETY

1969

Since the publication in 1951 of the last Report of the Symbols Committee of the Royal Society considerable progress has been made towards international agreement on the names and symbols for physical quantities, on the definitions, names, and symbols for units, and on the rules for the expression of relations involving numbers between physical quantities and units.

The recommendations of the following international bodies, on each of which the U.K. is represented, are in virtually complete agreement wherever they overlap:

The General Conference on Weights and Measures The International Organization for Standardization The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics The International Union of Pure and Applied Clhemistry The International Electrochemical Commission

The British Standard B.S. 1991, Part 1, second edition, 1967, is also in virtually complete agreement with the international recommendations.

This new version of the Report of the Symbols Committee thus recommends the procedures and symbols which have been internationally agreed.

Price 7s. (35p) per copy, or ?6 per 25 copies from The Royal Society, 6 Carlton House Terrace, London, S.W. 1, or through booksellers.
