Timekeeping has become a key technology in nowadays high precision measurement in science and technology. Satellites, including communication and GPS platforms, as well as lab based systems depend on time measurement for accuracy of results. This yields the need for a book that conveys the current technology as well as the underlying history and physical background, and such work is missing on the market. The authors have longstanding research experience with timekeeping and high precision measurement. This book can be used as course book or as accompanying work at advanced undergraduate or graduate level. Useable as reading for course PH2400.
