Measurements,e. Although every well reported experiment has its record of uncertainty, in its random error or inexactness, it is thought to be controlled through statistical analysis. There are other, deeper sorts of uncertainty, not familiar outside the matured natural sciences; their management is left to impl

Maps,ected by the “magic number” syndrome; although they can be used to make strong or contentious claims, they do not possess the aura of objective truth in the same way as numbers. Because of this cultural difference, maps are now generally accepted as being the product of human creation, embodying pol

Mathematical Notations: Functions and Design,mation. Design is less apparent in the case of mathematical symbols, except perhaps in the choice of typefaces in printing. However design is there, primarily involving intellectual criteria but with a significant aesthetic component as well. In this case, the “marks on paper” are intended to be cop

The NUSAP Scheme: Introduction,ns were generally intended for use by experts, working in problems defined within specific fields of pure or applied mathematics. The assessment of quality of results, and communication to lay audiences, were considered to be outside the realm of scientific practice, to be accomplished by informal m

Mapping Uncertainties of Radiological Hazards,ve agents had materials are now an inescapable part of our natural and technical environment, it does not need a major accident for radiological protection to be an urgent societal problem. The setting of standards for “permitted” or “tolerated” exposures is a continuous task, and one that is inevit

Further Applications of the NUSAP System,s, each area of research has its own problems of uncertainty management. For each one an appropriate technique can be developed within the general approach of NUSAP. A great variety of special forms can be designed and deployed.
