DESCRIPTION:
"Generally Difficult to Read." according to Jesse Stuart. I was generally disappointed and frustrated with this book. It uses a lot of specialized terms without defining them first, and has some really odd, flowery language that is difficult to follow. Here's a sentence from page 12 I had to reread multiple times."A measurement with fixed accuracy can be performed only, if to a measurable property of the object, it is possible to associate with no less accuracy a determinate parameter of its model." I'm still not sure what that says exactly, and had to assume "determi
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)
His theory of galvanometrical self-balancing instruments led to the creation of numerous new measuring devices. . Rabinovich was head of the Laboratory of Theoretical Metrology at the All-Union State Research Institute of Metrology in the former Soviet Union
It differs from the majority of books in that it balances coverage of probabilistic methods with detailed information on the characterization, calibration, standardization and limitations of measuring instruments, with specific examples from both electrical and mechanical systems. In addition to a general updating to reflect current research, new material in this edition includes increased coverage of indirect measurements, with a new, simpler, more efficient method for this class of measurements.. Building on the fundamentals of measurement theory, this book offers a wealth of practial recommendations and procedures. A practical reference on theory and methods of estimating measurement errors and uncertainty for both scientists and engineers in industry and experimental research
