This is the first of two videos about unit conversion problems. This style of problem solving is also called "dimensional analysis." This video shows you how you can use a conversion factor to change units. Our second video will have examples of using multiple conversion factors. Both videos have example problems.

More advanced problems in Part 2

We study unit conversion and dimensional analysis in chemistry class, because it is so useful in solving chemistry problems. But you'll find it helpful in math, physics, engineering...so many different subjects. This video should especially help those new to the metric system and metric conversions - see example 3.

About our instructor:
Kimberly Hatch Harrison received degrees in Biology and English Literature from Caltech before working in pharmaceuticals research, developing drugs for autoimmune disorders. She continued her studies in Molecular Biology (focusing on Immunology and Neurobiology) at Princeton University, where she began teaching as a graduate student. Her success in teaching convinced her to leave the glamorous world of biology research and turn to teaching full-time, accepting a position at an exclusive prep school, where she taught biology and chemistry for eight years. Kimberly co-founded Socratica Studios.
