Math & Science ⇒ SIunitx support

[niles]

HI

Please take a look at my MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath} 
\usepackage{siunitx} 
\usepackage[sc]{mathpazo}

\begin{document}
$\delta_0=-2\pi \cdot \SI{60}{\mega\hertz}$ 
\end{document}

What I am unsure of is whether or not I am using SIunitx correctly. Somehow I would like to think that 2*pi can go inside the SI-call, i.e. something like:

Code: Select all

$\SI[output-product = \cdot]{2\pi x 60}{\mega\hertz}$ 

However this produces (2*pi MHz) * (60 MHz). Is there a more correct way to get 2*pi*60 MHz other than my first suggestion?

Best,
Niles.

This should work

Code: Select all

$\SI[parse-numbers=false]{2\pi\cdot 60}{\mega\hertz}$

but I think your first example is both easier to write and semantically more correct

Code: Select all

$2\pi\cdot\SI{60}{\mega\hertz}$
