1. Seven SI Base Units — "My Kids Study A Kilo (of) Moles Carefully"

  • My → Mass (kg)
  • Kids → Kelvin (K)
  • Study → Second (s)
  • A → Ampere (A)
  • Kilo → Length (metre — kilo-metre reference)
  • Moles → Mole (mol)
  • Carefully → Candela (cd)

2. Error Propagation — "AAM-RPM"

  • Absolute errors add for Addition/subtraction (AAM)
  • Relative errors add for Products/division (RPM)
  • Power Multiplies relative error (M)

3. Significant Figures — "Leading Zeros Lie, Trailing Truths Tell"

  • Leading zeros are NEVER significant (they "lie" about precision)
  • Trailing zeros AFTER a decimal ARE significant (they "tell" the truth)

4. Dimensional Formulas — "FEP Are MAPT"

  • Force [M^{1}$$L^{1}$$T^{-2}]
  • Energy [M^{1}$$L^{2}$$T^{-2}]
  • Power [M^{1}$$L^{2}$$T^{-3}]
  • Angular momentum [M^{1}$$L^{2}$$T^{-1}]
  • Pressure [M^{1}$$L^{-1}$$T^{-2}]
  • Torque [M^{1}$$L^{2}$$T^{-2}]

Notice: Force → Energy (add one L), Energy → Power (change T2T^{-2} to T3T^{-3}), Energy → Angular momentum (change T2T^{-2} to T1T^{-1}).

5. Percentage Error Shortcut — "PABC Rule" For Z = Aᵃ × Bᵇ / Cᶜ: % error in Z = a × (%A) + b × (%B) + c × (%C) "The Power Acts as a Multiplier Before Combining"
