Advanced Mathematical and Computational Tools in Metrology and Testing IX

Download or read book Advanced Mathematical and Computational Tools in Metrology and Testing IX written by Franco Pavese and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 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.
