GLOSSARY INDEX: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
g : : see giga, gram, gravity.
Gaussian Noise : noise with a statistically random time distribution - white noise for example.
giga : G : SI prefix = 109 see other SI Units
gram : g : unit of mass in the metric system. The kilogram Kg rather than the gram is considered the base unit of mass in the SI because the gram is so small. The old French spelling gramme is sometimes used but gm is wrong.
gravity : g : a unit for measuring acceleration. One g = 9.81 m/s², the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth.
