This is the official site of Japanese Standards. It shows how each of the seven bases or Standard SI units are defined. Pictures of the SI standard units are included.

Other interesting metric sites are The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Metric Page and Russ Rowlett's site of The International System of Weights and Measures (SIPM), a basic introduction to the metric system.

This site contains tips that Oberlin College Physics faculty have found useful, particularly for students in introductory physics courses. These tips and suggestions will take more time and effort than a casual reading of the text, but should pay off with a better understanding of physics and an increased confidence on exams. Sections on solving Physics problems and the selection of Physics problems are also included.
