In the Standard Units environment, the arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, and ^) are modified so that they perform the necessary operations on expressions with units.

Given units x and y, the properties of the five arithmetic operators are:

where r is a rational number; z is an appropriate unit from the given system; and za, zb, and z0 are appropriate multipliers.

Note: Prior to Maple 2015, units were displayed surrounded by double brackets.
