Overview

LaTeX is a powerful language, but to take advantage of it, to respect its quality
and to observe the discipline of matters that it interacts with: it requires some
devices.

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.
