Advanced Mathematical Tools in Metrology

This workshop covers high-precision measurements and the development of mathematical tools. Advances in metrology depend on improvements in scientific and technical knowledge, the quality of instruments, and a better use of, and developments of, mathematical tools.

This workshop should interest researchers and others involved with high-precision measurements and the development of mathematical tools for this purpose. Advances in metrology depend on improvements in scientific and technical knowledge, the quality of instruments, a better use of advanced mathematical tools and the development of new ones. A tradition of close co-operation between metrologists and mathematicians, while found elsewhere, is lacking in Italy. This workshop wishes to start such a co-operation by providing a common meeting ground. Several industrial sectors, particularly those of instrumentation and software, are likely to benefit from this process, since metrology has a high impact on the overall quality of industrial products and applied mathematics is becoming increasingly important in industrial processes.
