Summary
Subject of study builds on the Theory of Errors and Adjustment I and is focused on the expansion of knowledge in the field testing, processing and analysis of the results of the measured precision. Thorough knowledge of the theory of errors leads to a correct choice and economic methods of measurement and processing methods, their results in practice.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to acquire skills for working with the measured results, determining the most value from the measured results and analysis of accuracy.
