Mathematics for Measurement

Some materials are provided electronically. This is not a substitute for purchasing the paper copy of the materials from the bookstore. Those are quite inexpensive and are copied and prepared in a way to make it easy for you to put them into a notebook with the dividers, as required. See the first-day handout for the course for details.
