Beschreibung

"At Scale" explores the transformative power of measurement science, revealing how our ability to quantify the world has shaped human civilization from ancient trading systems to modern technological achievements. The book presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of measurement, from rudimentary units based on human body parts to today's sophisticated International System of Units (SI), demonstrating how standardized measurements have become the backbone of scientific progress and global innovation.

 
Through a well-structured exploration across three main sections, the book illuminates the fundamental principles of metrology, contemporary measurement technologies, and emerging frontiers in measurement science. Readers discover how precision engineering and standardization have enabled remarkable achievements, from semiconductor manufacturing to space exploration. The text skillfully balances technical content with accessible explanations, using real-world case studies to illustrate complex concepts in measurement accuracy, precision, and uncertainty.

 
What sets this book apart is its comprehensive examination of measurement science's interdisciplinary impact, connecting physical measurements to global trade, human perception, and information theory. The author methodically builds understanding through practical examples, making advanced concepts accessible to both specialists and general readers. This approach creates a valuable resource for scientists and engineers while remaining engaging for anyone interested in understanding how measurement capabilities continue to drive technological advancement and scientific discovery.

    Cognitive Shortcuts That Mislead...

    This book consists of two titles, which are: 
    - The Confirmation Bias: Confirmation bias is a cognitive phenomenon that plays a significant role in shaping our beliefs and perceptions. It refers to the tendency of individuals to search for, interpret, and remember information in a way that confirms their preexisting beliefs or theories, while disregarding or minimizing evidence that contradicts those beliefs. This bias is not limited to any particular field or context and can influence people in a variety of ways, from politics and religion to personal relationships and health decisions. 
    - The Representativeness Heuristic: At its core, the representativeness heuristic simplifies decision-making by allowing individuals to rely on surface-level similarities rather than delving into deeper, more complex analyses. For example, if someone observes a well-dressed, articulate individual discussing financial markets, they might assume the person is a financial expert, even without any concrete evidence. This judgment stems from the resemblance of the observed traits to the prototype of a financial expert. However, such assumptions often overlook critical information, such as actual expertise or experience.
