  2. Measure (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measure_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, the concept of a measure is a generalization and formalization of geometrical measures (length, area, volume) and other common notions, such as magnitude, mass, and probability of events. These seemingly distinct concepts have many similarities and can often be treated together in a single mathematical context.

  3. Mathematical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_model

    A discrete model treats objects as discrete, such as the particles in a molecular model or the states in a statistical model; while a continuous model represents the objects in a continuous manner, such as the velocity field of fluid in pipe flows, temperatures and stresses in a solid, and electric field that applies continuously over the ...

    In Hindi ½ Seer = Adha (½) Seer, or Adher 1 Ser = 2 Adher = 4 Pav = 16 Chattank = 80 Tola = 933.1 grams 1 Savaser = 1 Ser + 1 Pav (1¼ Seer) 1 Savaser weighed 100 Imperial rupees In Hindi 1¼ Seer = Sava (1¼) Seer, or Savaser 1 Dhaser = 2 Savaser = 2½ Seer In Hindi 2½ Seer = Dhai (2½) Seer, or Dhaser 1 Paseri = 2 Adisari = 5 Seer

  5. Measurement uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_uncertainty

    A measurement model converts a quantity value into the corresponding value of the measurand. There are many types of measurement in practice and therefore many models. A simple measurement model (for example for a scale, where the mass is proportional to the extension of the spring) might be sufficient for everyday domestic use.

  6. Measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement

    Measurement is the quantification of attributes of an object or event, which can be used to compare with other objects or events. [1] [2] In other words, measurement is a process of determining how large or small a physical quantity is as compared to a basic reference quantity of the same kind. [3]

  7. Unit of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_measurement

    The definition, agreement, and practical use of units of measurement have played a crucial role in human endeavour from early ages up to the present. A multitude of systems of units used to be very common. Now there is a global standard, the International System of Units (SI), the modern form of the metric system.

  8. Metrology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrology

    Metrology is a wide reaching field, but can be summarized through three basic activities: the definition of internationally accepted units of measurement, the realisation of these units of measurement in practice, and the application of chains of traceability (linking measurements to reference standards).

  9. Measure space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measure_space

    A measure space is a basic object of measure theory, a branch of mathematics that studies generalized notions of volumes.It contains an underlying set, the subsets of this set that are feasible for measuring (the σ-algebra) and the method that is used for measuring (the measure).
