Abstract

You’re going to spend some time in the Hotel Theory (such a lovely place). Fortunately, you really can leave and go down the road to Practice. Before you do, you need to understand some core concepts and formulae required for turning your raw instrumental magnitudes into standard magnitudes. How these are applied in Practice will be covered in Chap. 8.
