Study Notes

The vernier caliper is an instrument for accurate linear measurements.
It was introduced in 1631 by Pierre Vernier of France.
The caliper uses two scales: a main scale and an auxiliary vernier scale.
The vernier scale has shorter divisions than the main scale.
Vernier calipers are widely used in scientific laboratories and manufacturing for quality control measurements.
Vernier scales can be used to increase the accuracy of angular as well as linear measurements.
Pierre Vernier was a French mathematician who invented the vernier caliper.
Vernier's book "La Construction, l’usage, et les propriétés du quadrant nouveau de mathématiques" described his new measuring instrument.
Measurement is fundamental to the sciences, engineering, construction, and almost all everyday activities.
The elements, conditions, limitations, and theoretical foundations of measurement have been widely studied.
