Industrial users of sensors, who have not been taught about sensors previously would also welcome a book allowing them to learn for themselves how they operate. The market for the books is therefore potentially very large. This book is needed, since sensors are taking on an increasingly important role in modern chemical measurement science. Sensors have not generally been presented in undergraduate courses so this text should provide a route for those in employment to catch-up and learn for themselves how the sensor devices are used to operate.
