In many of the sciences there is no means of ensuring absolute
accuracy in the measurement of a particular quantity. The
difficulty can to some extent be overcome by making several
independent sets of observations and by combining these to give the
most probable result. This done, the degree of precision of the
calculated value can in its turn be assessed. It is seldom a
straightforward matter of taking the average reading, and in many
cases a knowledge of the theory behind the methods of combining
observations becomes essential. It is this knowledge that Professor
Smart provides.
