Abstract

Chemistry students do not usually have the necessary background in mathematical statistics to study metrology and quality principles in chemistry. Even when the students have studied mathematical statistics, it is helpful to refresh their statistical knowledge, focusing on specific applications to metrology and quality in chemistry. Therefore, when planning a course for teaching metrology and quality it is important to achieve a harmonized interaction of metrological and quality issues with the supporting statistical issues. Additional possibilities for learning the relevant subjects originate from the Internet (e-learning). Such a lecture course developed and delivered during the five years since 2003 at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem is discussed in the paper.
