Students in a science or engineering curriculum ought to be introduced early to the requirement that a meaningful measurement result should always be accompanied by a statement of its uncertainty. This book has been written specifically with this objective in mind. That the first edition has been successful in doing this is attested to by its popularity with both faculty and students, and its translation into six languages.
