Measurement Errors and Uncertainties: Theory and Practice Reviews
Customer Rating:Summary: Advanced Book About Metrology
Comment: As an experimental physicist by education I picked up this book to brush up my measurement knowledge. I was really surprised to discover that this book is about metrology and not experimental physics measurements. In fact it was very educating for me to read about the many differences between those two closely related trades.
Especially I liked the first chapter it has a philosophical depth. Most of it can be read like poetry: enjoying every day a few pages. The deep and thoughtful understanding of the author is stunning.
The following chapters are of a strong varying quality: some trivial, some educational. The mathematics can be followed (or looked up) by people with a physics background. It is not always clear to me why at some points the details of the calculations are spelled out and at others not.
This book is definitely not a textbook or an introduction to the field. You should already have a basic knowledge of the subject.
Editorial Review for Measurement Errors and Uncertainties: Theory and Practice:
From reviews of the first edition:"Extremely useful to metrologissts 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
A practical reference on theory and methods of estimating measurement errors and uncertainty for scientists and engineers in industry and experimental research. Building from the fundamentals of measurement theory, the book offers a wealth of practial recommendations and procedures. 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 mesuring instruments, with specific examples from both electrical and mechanical systems, making the book useful to both the theorist and experimentalist In addition to a general updating to include 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. 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.
