I think what you want is a book on "error analysis". I'm pretty sure I have one
or two monographs on the subject, but my library is in such a state of disarray
I'm reluctant to look for one. It's sort on the boundary between experimental
physics and mathematics. So I have no idea where I might have it shelved.
Error analysis is the process of determining the ultimate uncertainty after
taking into account all the error terms and properly combining them.
I decided I'd see if I might get lucky:
An Introduction to Error Analysis: The Study of Uncertainties in Physical
Measurements
John R. Taylor
University Science Books 1982
ISBN 0-935702-10-5

I am currently doing the free courses at NPL.
I’ve done a couple of the basic metrology courses
https://training.npl.co.uk/course/introduction-to-metrology/
https://training.npl.co.uk/course/introduction-to-measurement-uncertainty/
as well as the intermediate level
https://training.npl.co.uk/course/understanding-uncertainty-budgets/
I am just about to start the advanced
https://training.npl.co.uk/course/understanding-and-evaluating-measurement-uncertainty/
but fear I will probably struggle with this, as I don’t work in this area.
I was looking for a book or two that are either a general book on
metrology.
I am looking more for an understanding of fundamental principles, rather
than a specific area. I can find tons of books on Amazon about laser
metrology, mechanical metrology and other disciplines, but can not seem to
find anything that is general, so can give the mathematics and theory,
without it being too specific to one area.
The NPL courses have lists of resources, but these all tend to be standards
(GUM, ISO or other resources at NPL. ) I can not see any text books
listed.
I am particularly interested in electrical measurements (voltage,
frequency, power etc), but I am not at this point interested in buying a
book on a very narrow subject area.
Any ideas?
Dave
