This book presents a systematic and comprehensive presentation of the theory of measurement accuracy and provides solutions that fill the large and long-term gaps in classical theory. It eliminates the shortcomings of classical theory by including methods to estimate the accuracy of individual measurements, the most common measurement type.

The book also develops ways to reduce and enumerate indirect measurements, which do not require Taylor series and produce a precise solution to this problem. It produces ground-based methods and recommendations to summarize errors.

This study also analyzes and criticizes two basic documents for compositions, the International Vocabulary of Metrology (VIM) and the GUM, and discusses its audit trends. This new edition adds a step-by-step guide on how to evaluate measurement accuracy and recommendations on how to calculate the systematic error of multiple measurements.

There is also an expanded section on the reduction method, which provides an alternative to a less square and enumeration method. Several sections are rewritten to improve the structure and ease of use of materials.

The third edition reflects the latest developments in metrology and offers new results, designed to be accessible to readers at different levels and attitudes, including scientists, engineers, undergraduate students and graduate students. By providing materials from a practical perspective and offering solutions and recommendations to problems arising in realistic measurements, author Semyon Rabinovich offers an invaluable resource for scientists in any field..
