Although we might suggest that the Egyptians had discovered the art of measurement, it is only with the Greeks that the science of measurement begins to appear. The Greek's knowledge of geometry, and their early experimentation with weights and measures, soon began to place their measurement system on a more scientific basis. By comparison, Roman science, which came later, was not as advanced...
The French Revolution gave rise to acceptance of the metric system, and this has spread around the world, replacing most customary units of measure. In most systems, length (distance), weight, and time are base quantities; or as has been now accepted as better in science, the substitution of mass for weight, as a better more, basic parameter. Some systems have changed to recognize the improved relationship, notably the 1824 legal changes to the imperial system.
US Customary units, developed and used in the United States after the American Revolution, are based on a subset of the English units used in the Thirteen Colonies, while the Imperial system of units was developed and used after 1824 in the United Kingdom and subsequently used in the rest of the Commonwealth. US Customary units are the predominant system of units in the United States, but in all Commonwealth countries the metric system has, to varying degrees, replaced the imperial system.

Metric System Explained Simply l Metric System vs. English System l Metric vs. Imperial
In the United States, we typically use the English or Imperial system of measurement for everyday purposes, but in most other countries around the world, the metric system of measurement is the standard. Because of this, the metric system is being used more and more often here in the States, so it’s vital that you understand it and know how to use it. In this course, we’ll explain the metric system simply and go over basic vocabulary and definitions, as well as some common conversions between the Imperial and metric systems.

Comparison of the imperial and US customary measurement systems
Both the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement derive from earlier English systems used in the Middle Ages, that were the result of a combination of the local Anglo-Saxon units inherited from German tribes and Roman units brought by William the Conqueror after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
Having this shared heritage, the two systems are quite similar, but there are differences. The US customary system is based on English systems of the 18th century, while the Imperial system was defined in 1824, after American independence.

Why the metric system matters - Matt Anticole
View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-the-metric-system-matters-matt-anticole
For the majority of recorded human history, units like the weight of a grain or the length of a hand weren’t exact and varied from place to place. Now, consistent measurements are such an integral part of our daily lives that it’s hard to appreciate what a major accomplishment for humanity they’ve been. Matt Anticole traces the wild history of the metric system.

For the majority of recorded human history, units like the weight of a grain or the length of a hand weren’t exact and varied from place to place. Now, consistent measurements are such an integral part of our daily lives that it’s hard to appreciate what a major accomplishment for humanity they’ve been. Matt Anticole traces the wild history of the metric system.

Although we might suggest that the Egyptians had discovered the art of measurement, it is only with the Greeks that the science of measurement begins to appear. The Greek's knowledge of geometry, and their early experimentation with weights and measures, soon began to place their measurement system on a more scientific basis. By comparison, Roman science, which came later, was not as advanced...
The French Revolution gave rise to acceptance of the metric system, and this has spread around the world, replacing most customary units of measure. In most systems, length (distance), weight, and time are base quantities; or as has been now accepted as better in science, the substitution of mass for weight, as a better more, basic parameter. Some systems have changed to recognize the improved relationship, notably the 1824 legal changes to the imperial system.
