Of all the members and mods on WBF, I am probably the most ignorant (don't really like that word, but it somehow fits) about measurements, specifications and product statistics. Other than glancing over some product details and reading reviews, I am totally at a loss when trying to understand what any and all of these things mean.
Mathematics and the sciences never captured my interest back in my youth (school), although I tried my best to understand and at least come up with passeble grades. Geography, history and languages (I speak 3) came easy for me, and, as such, I never tried to acquiant myself with the topic of this thread in later years. However, I find myself fascinated by some of the topics here on these matters and have been reading them diligently.
Is there a source that I could sink my teeth into, which would help me to understand (somewhat) some of the basics and more important aspects of measurements that one should not be without. I know that's a very broad question, but many of you are really-versed in this area and I would certainly appreciate some direction. Thank you!
