  • Abstract
    The recommended use of the Giorgi system of units with the rationalized form of the equations of electromagnetism has led to controversy between the “classic” and “modern” schools over whether total rationalization should be interpreted as a change of the units or as a change of the quantities. An attempt is made to unveil some of the hidden complications and to show how the difficulties can be avoided by proper attention to the semantics involved.
