centuries ago dozens of different units of measurements were unit through out the world.So there was a lot of confusion and inefficiencies in trade between countries. At the end of the 18th century, the french government sought to alleviate this problem by devising a system of measurement that could be used throughout the world. In 1790 the French national assembly commissioned the Academy of science to design a simple decimal based system of units; this was called the metric system. In 1960 the metric system was officially named the Systeme international d'Unite's(SI for short)and now is used in nearly every country.It is almost always used in scientific measurements
