"Completely revised and updated, this new edition ... provides the algebraic, geometric, and trigonometric concepts essential to solving problems commonly encountered in technical and trade occupations." - Back cover.

This book is an up-to-date introduction to the quantum theory of measurement.

Describes the use of instruments and techniques for practical measurements required in engineering, physics, chemistry and the life sciences.

One of the exciting characteristics of metrology is its intimate relationship between fundamental physics and the leading edge of technology which is needed to perform advanced and challenging experiments and measurements.

This book discusses how and why historical measurement units developed, and reviews useful methods for making conversions as well as situations in which dimensional analysis can be used.

One Time Fits All tells the story of the development, integration, and obstacles overcome in setting an the International Date Line, establishing the worldwide system of Standard Time zones, and adopting Daylight Saving Time—including ...

This book provides an overview of the application of statistical methods to problems in metrology, with emphasis on modelling measurement processes and quantifying their associated uncertainties.

However, the user has a responsibility to bring intellect, curiosity, and a proper skepticism to information on a computer screen and to the entire measurement process. This book helps you to achieve this goal.

"This book is a revisionist account of attempts to unify clock times, calendars, and social time, and a methodological intervention in discussions about writing global and transnational history.

This novel monograph should attract physicists as well as philosophers of science working in the foundations of quantum physics. For this revised second edition, all chapters have been updated and extended where appropriate.
