Book Description:
|
The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the philosophy, history, theory, and practice of measurement across the sciences, emphasizing often overlooked or undervalued resources providing much-needed correctives to unexamined epistemological assumptions. The needs of three separate but related communities of research and practice are addressed: experimentalists and managers; instrument makers and metrologists; and theoreticians.
