Scope

Information: acquisition and processing. Information as a basic factor for civilisation development of a contemporary society, information society. Experiment as a basic manner of collection information about an object, phenomenon or process. Basic concepts of the information theory.

Elements of the experiment theory. Designing experiments. General rules and procedures for carry out experiments. The significance of mathematical modelling in the experiment methodology. Measurement as a basic element of the experiment methodology.

General characteristics and basic elements of measurement information acquisition systems. The relations of information acquisition systems with data telecommunication systems of information processing and computer control systems.

Analysis and working out of experiment results. Measurement errors and uncertainties. Error sources. Measurement error classification. The calculation of systematic errors in direct and indirect measurements. Mathematical model and random error calculation. The elimination of redundancy errors. Analysing measurement result uncertainties. Shaping measurement results. Connecting measurement results. Documenting experiment results.
