Add the gauss as a unit of magnetic flux density #156

Are we allowing ourselves to add cgs esu units as units of the associated SI dimension?

bjornbm commented 8 years ago

No objection. I assume that by associated SI dimension you refer to mass * time^-2 * current^-1 as opposed to length^(-1/2) * mass^(1/2) * time^-1 which we cannot express.

dmcclean commented 8 years ago

Yes, that's what I meant, I just couldn't come up with a good way to explain it. Looking up what it was in the cgs basis would have been a good start. :)
