With MM posting a value for c at tens of thousands of meters per

C =(E0*U0)**(-.5) to be an approximation or
E0=(1E-9)/(36*PIE)
U0=(1E-7)*4*PIE are approximations.
Not quite. You don't say what units you are using, but in SI units
both C and U0 above are both exact, E0 is an approximation.
The SI definitions give the units of U0 as N/A**2 = kg m s**(-2) A**(-2),
C as m/s, E0 as F/m = kg**(-1) m**(-3) s**4 A**2.
(If you invent suitable derived types you can even make Fortran do
your units as well as your numbers)
See, for example,http://www.physicstoday.org/guide/fundcon.html
above link that c is defined as a rational slightly less than 3 x
10**8 and U0 is indeed as above. Wouldn't that force E0 to be
irrational as well?
