This report is based on the work of several years,
during which I have had the opportunity to interact, directly
or indirectly,
with a large variety of persons,
most of them physicists of all ages
and of many nationalities, but also mathematicians, statisticians
and metrologists. In particular, the interest shown by
those who attended the lectures, and also the criticisms of those
who had strong prejudices towards the approach I was presenting, has been
highly stimulating. I take this opportunity to thank them all.
Special acknowledgements go to Romano Scozzafava of
``La Sapienza'' for many discussions
about the fundamental aspects of probability theory. The many clarifications about DIN and
ISO recommandations received by Klaus Weise of the PTB Braunschweig (Germany) have been
particulary usefull.
I would like to thank
Fritz Fröhner, Frank Lad of Canterbury University (New Zealand),
Gianni Penso of ``La Sapienza'',
Stefan Schlenstedt of Zeuten (Germany),
Pia Astone and Mirko Raso
of INFN Roma1 for critical comments on the manuscript,
as well on the on the old version of the primer.
Finally I would like to thank Bruno Pellizzoni
of INFN Roma1 for technical support with many of the drawings.
