Study Notes

Measurement in Natural Sciences and Engineering

Measurement in natural sciences and engineering refers to the process of assigning a numerical value to a physical quantity or property, allowing for its comparison and analysis.

Scope and Application of Measurement

The scope and application of measurement are dependent on the field of study, the level of precision required, and the tools and techniques available.

International System of Units (SI)

The International System of Units (SI) is based on seven fundamental physical quantities: length (meter), mass (kilogram), time (second), electric current (ampere), thermodynamic temperature (kelvin), amount of substance (mole), and luminous intensity (candela).

Science of Measurement

The science of measurement is pursued in the field of metrology, which deals with the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement.

Purpose of Measurement

Historically, the purpose of measurement has been to facilitate trade, commerce, and scientific inquiry by establishing a common language and standard for comparison and communication.
