Additional information
The aim of precision engineering is the accurate control of geometry. This paper illustrates the enabling role the mathematical sciences are playing in precision engineering: modelling physical processes, instruments and complex geometries, statistical characterization of metrology systems and error compensation. The concept of ‘metrology as an inverse problem’ was introduced and has led to innovative research into the structure of measurement using category theory which is providing a framework for general non-linear and ill-posed measurement problems. The specification and accurate control of geometry theme has led to the a Royal Society invitation to organise a themed issue proposal.
