Science & Tech Converter Hub

One interactive page that groups many "utility" conversions used in math, science, engineering, programming, design and navigation. Select a category to see clear educational notes, the most common formula and worked examples.

Percent: part ÷ whole × 100 SI: k=10³, M=10⁶, m=10⁻³, µ=10⁻⁶ Base: 1010₂ = 10₁₀ Angle: π rad = 180° Time: UTC offsets only
How to use

Choose a category, pick From and To, enter a value, and the result updates instantly. Swap reverses units and Copy copies your result.

Best for

Homework checks, lab reports, data sheets, engineering notes, programming conversions, design specs (paper, typography) and quick math.

Important note

Some categories are "education shortcuts" (Algorithms, Calculus, Chemistry, etc.). They show definitions and examples, but not every topic is a unit conversion.

Interactive Converter

Your category list is included exactly. Some categories map to the same converter (example: Binary and NumberSystems).

Notes: Some categories are concept pages (Algorithms, Calculus, Chemistry). For those, the panel shows education and examples but the "conversion" may be a simple helper (example: percent ↔ decimal) or a base conversion (binary/hex/decimal).

Data Transfer Rates

Common Speeds
• 1 Mbps = 125 KB/s (download)
• 10 Mbps = 1.25 MB/s
• 100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s
• 1 Gbps = 125 MB/s
Note: Uses decimal multiples (1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bit/s) and 8 bits = 1 byte

FAQ

What is the difference between decimal, binary and hexadecimal?

Decimal is base 10, binary is base 2 and hexadecimal is base 16. They represent the same values using different digits and place values.

How do SI prefixes work?

Prefixes scale a base unit by powers of ten. Example: k = 10³, M = 10⁶, m = 10⁻³ and µ = 10⁻⁶.

Are time zones handled with daylight saving time?

This page provides fixed UTC offset conversions. DST rules vary by location and date and are not automatically applied here.

What is the difference between Mbps and MB/s?

Mbps (megabits per second) is a data rate unit. MB/s (megabytes per second) is 8 times larger because 1 byte = 8 bits. So 100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s.

Why use radians instead of degrees?

Radians are the natural unit in calculus and physics. Most programming languages use radians for trigonometric functions. One full rotation is 2π radians (or 360°).
