“There is no such thing as an easy experiment, nor is there any substitute for careful experimentation in many areas of basic research and applied product development.” From Experimental Methods for Engineers by J. P. Holman Measurement is a multidisciplinary experimental science. Measurement systems synergistically blend science, engineering and statistical methods to provide fundamental data for research, design and development, control of processes and operations, and facilitate safe and economic performance of systems.
