    Summary note
    "The basis for all successful engineering operations lies in planning, measuring, and paying attention to details. Measurements pervade everything we do and must be viewed from a systems perspective. A comprehensive, all-encompassing guide to measurements, Handbook of Measurements: Benchmarks for Systems Accuracy and Precision focuses on high-level engineering computations essential for benchmarks and technical innovation. The book uses a systems framework and a technically rigorous approach to systems linking of measurements--an approach that sets it apart from other handbooks."-- Back cover.
