Summary:At the turn of the 19th century, Carl Friedrich Gauss founded error calculus by predicting the then unknown position of the minor planet Ceres. Ever since, error calculus has occupied a place at the heart of science. In this book, Grabe illustrates the breakdown of traditional error calculus in the face of modern measurement techniques.
