some numbers^* cannot be meaningfully multiplied or divided. For example, 3^rd place, 30° F, or 37.388N,-122.067S.
Some numbers can only be added to by numbers of a different type. For example x°C + y°K, 3rd grader + year, absolute position + offset. Similarly, subtracting two of these numbers results in a different unit. e.g. position - position = offset
it would be great if someone could comment the exact terminology for what I'm trying to describe.
