metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article focuses on the lives and work of three outstanding scientists — M. V. Lomonosov,
  L. Euler, and D. I. Mendeleev — among the brilliant galaxy of scientists who made the glory of
  St. Petersburg University, which will celebrate its 300th anniversary in 2024. Undoubtedly, they
  are the pride of all Russian and world science, but a significant part of the life of each of them
  is connected with the history of the formation and development of St. Petersburg University.
  Representing various branches of scientific knowledge, they not only enriched the world science,
  but also made an invaluable contribution both to the initial period of the creation of the
  university and to its leading role at the time of widespread development of higher education
  in Russia. The analysis of the activities of these scientists enables to make the conclusion that
  all of them shared the aspiration to achieve the highest possible accuracy in their scientific
  researches, which ensures the reliability and high quality of scientific conclusions and their
  application in practice. Each of this great trinity, having become an outstanding theoretician
  in his field of science, consistently developed such an important scientific and practical area
  as metrology — the science of measurements, methods, and means of ensuring their unity
  and ways of achieving the required precision. The author of the article is a specialist in this
  field, president of the Metrological Academy, one of the founders of the scientific direction
  of quality economics, in which metrology, along with the standardization and quality management,
  forms the basis for attaining the economic efficiency and improving the quality of
  life. The article shows how great the contribution of these scientists to the development of
  Russian metrology and the creation of the scientific and organizational foundation, on which
  the current successes of national metrology and its leading positions in the world are built,
  was. A historical perspective on the outstanding role of the three great scientists, whose life
  and work for many decades was associated with St. Petersburg University, in the development
  of metrology, will allow us to better appreciate the versatility of their talent and their ways of
  searching for scientific truth.
