Is it possible to perform arithmetic operations with units? This function is available in Mathcad. Do we have similar in Matlab?

Best regards, Sergey

You can use units in MuPAD which is a notebook style environment:

Or one of the many unit conversion tools on the FEX:

Starting from MATLAB R2017a, physical units can be associated with variables in MATLAB via SYMBOLIC MATH TOOLBOX. Please refer to the following links for more information on how to use it:
