Today the author is Emeritus Reader at University College London and he does not disavow his teaching background. By a simple class room example, in which students have to draw and measure a line 300 mm in length with a 100 mm ruler,...

We present a method of subtracting the foreground contamination for the measurement of CMB polarization. We calculate the resultant errors on CMB polarization and temperature-polarization cross correlation power spectra for the high frequency instrument (HFI) aboard Planck Surveyor, and estimate the corresponding errors on cosmological parameters
