Description for Measurement Errors and Uncertainties: Theory and Practice
hardcover. A practical reference on theory and methods of estimating measurement errors and uncertainty for both scientists and engineers in industry and experimental research. Building on the fundamentals of measurement theory, it offers practial recommendations and procedures. Num Pages: 308 pages, 30 black & white illustrations, 33 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: TBMM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 19. Weight in Grams: 562.
The major objective of this book is to give methods for estimating errors and uncertainties of real measurements: measurements that are performed in industry, commerce, and experimental research. This book is needed because the existing theory of measurement errors was historically developed as an abstract mathematical discipline. As a result, this theory allows estimation of uncertainties of some ideal measurements only and is not applicable to most practical cases. In particular, it is not applicable to single measurements. This situation did not bother mathematicians, whereas engineers, not being bold enough to assert that the mathematical theory of errors cannot satisfy ... Read more

About Semyon G. Rabinovich
Rabinovich was head of the Laboratory of Theoretical Metrology at the All-Union State Research Institute of Metrology in the former Soviet Union. His theory of galvanometrical self-balancing instruments led to the creation of numerous new measuring devices.
Reviews for Measurement Errors and Uncertainties: Theory and Practice
Reviews from previous editions "Extremely useful to meteorologists and to anyone interested in measurement errors" (MEASUREMENT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY) "I suggest that every technical library should own a copy of Measurement Errors. Serious experimentalists whose interests are broad will surely want to examine the book with the intent of buying it". (Applied Mechanics Review)
