Measurement Uncertainties in Science and Technologyby Michael Grabe
Springer 2005; US$ 149.00At the turn of the 19th century, Carl Friedrich Gauss founded error calculus by predicting the then unknown position of the minor planet Ceres. Ever since, error calculus has occupied a place at the heart of science. In this book, Grabe illustrates the breakdown of traditional error calculus in the face of modern measurement techniques. more...
Advanced Mathematical And Computational Tools In Metrology Viby P. Ciarlini; M G Cox; F Pavese
World Scientific 2004; US$ 127.00This volume collects refereed contributions based on the presentations made at the Sixth Workshop on Advanced Mathematical and Computational Tools in Metrology, held at the Istituto di Metrologia ?G. Colonnetti? (IMGC), Torino, Italy, in September 2003. It provides a forum for metrologists, mathematicians and software engineers that will encourage a more effective synthesis of skills, capabilities and resources, and promotes collaboration in the context of EU programmes, EUROMET and EA projects, and MRA requirements. It contains articles by an important, worldwide group of metrologists and mathematicians involved in measurement science and, together with the five previous volumes in this series, constitutes an authoritative source for the mathematical,... more...
Advances in Data Modeling for Measurements in the Metrology and Testing Fieldsby Franco Pavese; Alistair B. Forbes
Springer 2009; US$ 125.00Offers a comprehensive set of modeling methods for data and uncertainty analysis. This work develops methods and computational tools to address general models that arise in practice, allowing for a more valid treatment of calibration and test data and providing an understanding of complex situations in measurement science. more...
Why Pi?by Johnny Ball
Dorling Kindersley 2009; US$ 16.99Discover how maths applies to everything with Johnny Ball Join Johnny Ball as he shows your child that maths isn?t just numbers and sums, it?s a fundamental, incredible, magical way to find out how everything works. From Pi, the amazing number that?s vital for so much of everyday life, to perfect proportions ? did you know Leonardo da Vinci worked out a person?s ear is one-third the length of their face? ? discover how numbers, from ancient times to the modern day, have enabled us to explore, build and discover just about everything. With puzzles to solve, conundrums to crack and incredible tricks to show to friends, Johnny Ball will teach your child to become a mathmagician! more...
Distributed Large-Scale Dimensional Metrologyby Fiorenzo Franceschini; Maurizio Galetto; Domenico Maisano; Luca Mastrogiacomo; Barbara Pralio
Springer 2011; US$ 179.00The field of large-scale dimensional metrology (LSM) deals with objects that have linear dimensions ranging from tens to hundreds of meters. It has recently attracted a great deal of interest in many areas of production, including the automotive, railway, and shipbuilding sectors. Distributed Large-Scale Dimensional Metrology introduces a new paradigm in this field that reverses the classical metrological approach: measuring systems that are portable and can be easily moved around the location of the measured object, which is preferable to moving the object itself. Distributed Large-Scale Dimensional Metrology combines the concepts of distributed systems and large scale metrology at the application level. It focuses on the latest insights and... more...
Measuring at Homeby Jennifer Rozines Roy; Gregory Roy
Marshall Cavendish 2007; US$ 29.93This series reinforces both math and reading skills, stimulates critical thinking, and provides students with an understanding of math in the real world. more...
Springer Handbook of Metrology and Testingby Horst Czichos; Tetsuya Saito; Leslie Smith
Springer 2011; US$ 469.00This Springer Handbook of Metrology and Testing presents the principles of Metrology -- the science of measurement -- and the methods and techniques of Testing -- determining the characteristics of a given product -- as they apply to chemical and microstructural analysis, and to the measurement and testing of materials properties and performance, including modelling and simulation. The principal motivation for this Handbook stems from the increasing demands of technology for measurement results that can be used globally. Measurements within a local laboratory or manufacturing facility must be able to be reproduced accurately anywhere in the world. The book integrates knowledge from basic sciences and engineering disciplines, compiled by experts... more...
Night at the Community Centerby Joshua Rae Martin
Shell Education 2010; US$ 8.99A community center has many exciting activities to choose from. You can play games, swim, and even learn how to cook there. As you read, you can compare the size of a tennis racket to a ping pong racket, use cubes to measure the worlds smallest snake, and even use feet to measure the length of a basketball court. What would you use to measure a snake? 32pp. more...
Towns and Citiesby Dianne Irving
Shell Education 2009; US$ 8.99Discover how perimeter and area are used to design the plans for a city or town including public recreation centers such as parks, swimming pools, and tennis courts. Towns and Cities also introduces regular shapes in the layout of suburban homes and irregular shapes in the construction of landscaping these homes. more...
Advanced Mathematical and Computational Tools in Metrology and Testing Ixby Franco Pavese; Markus Bar; Jean-Remy Filtz
World Scientific 2012; US$ 218.00This volume contains original, refereed worldwide contributions. They were prompted by presentations made at the ninth AMCTM Conference held in Göteborg (Sweden) in June 2011 on the theme of advanced mathematical and computational tools in metrology and also, in the title of this book series, in testing. The themes in this volume reflect the importance of the mathematical, statistical and numerical tools and techniques in metrology and testing and, also in keeping the challenge promoted by the Metre Convention, to access a mutual recognition for the measurement standards. more...
