Mensuration

Ooh, vocabulary day at LCSHWTF! Have you ever heard the term Mensuration? Yeah, me neither. I happened across it, though, n the record for the book "The Facts on File Chronology of Science." A bit of searching around internet-wise tells me that mensuration has something to do with measurement - but honestly, It's not much clearer than that. A trip to an unabridged dictionary, and I guess it has to do with measuring things indirectly using algebra or geometry. Well, yay! Glad that was clear to everyone...
