An account of dimensional analysis, the quantity calculus, the base calculus, the calculus of error analysis and others. It uses the insights of historical study to clarify and solve well-known difficulties in the present-day mathematics of measurement.
Dr Roche now fills this gap with an account which treats dimensional analysis, the quantity calculus, the base calculus, the calculus of error analysis, etc. It also uses the insights of historical study to attempt to clarify and solve well-known difficulties in the present-day mathematics of measurement. It is designed for physicists, engineers, mathematicians and historians of science.

The emergences of the practical conception of number; early scientific metrology and quantitative laws; early applications of geometry and proportion; the progress of quantification; arithmetical algebra and symbolic geometry; algebra in physics in the 17th century; mathematics in 18th century exact science; the metric reform and the units of physics; absolute units in electricity and magnetism; dimensional analysis and the quantity calculus; dimensional exploration; interpreting the algebra of physics; units in the System International.
