!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}] ([ISQ]) is a system based on seven base quantities: 
* [length]
* [mass]
* [time]
* [electric current]
* [thermodynamic temperature]
* [amount of substance]
* [luminous intensity]

Other quantities such as [area], [pressure], and [electrical resistance] are derived from these base quantities by clear, non-contradictory equations. 


[{$pagename}] defines the quantities that are measured with the SI units and also includes many other quantities in modern science and technology.
