Watt within the then-existing system of practical units as "the power conveyed by a current of an Ampère through the difference of potential of a Volt." In October 1908, at the International Conference on Electric Units and Standards in London, so-called "international" definitions were established for practical electrical units. Siemens' definition was adopted as the "international" watt. (Also used: 1 ampere x 1 ohm.) The watt was defined as equal to 10 units of power in the "practical system" of units. The "international units" were dominant from 1909 until 1948. After the 9th General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1948,
Martin Ohm 1852; and he also taught in the military school from 1826 to 1849. Ohm was the first to fully develop the theory of the exponential "a" when both "a" and "b" are complex numbers in 1823. He is also often credited with introducing the name "golden section" ("goldener Schnitt"). Ohm's students included Friedrich August, Friedrich Bachmann, Elwin Bruno Christoffel, Paul Bachmann, Joseph Brutkowski, Heinrich Eduard Heine, Rudolf Lipschitz, Leo Pochhammer, Friedrich Prym, Wilhelm Wagner, Hermann Waldaestel, Wilhelm Wernicke, Elena Gerz, Valentien Gerz, and Johanna Gerz.
