Okay this is slightly off topic but not much.
In my applied math class we are working on different units and
unit conversions. I will start the metric system in a couple
days. Would it be worth it to the students to bring in a meter,
a kilogram, and a liter?
Also, the math book uses weight and mass nearly interchangeably.
Should I just go along or teach them properly? My inclining as a
physicist is to teach them correctly but realistically I don't
think they are going to get it.
