A systematic error is an error introduced into a series of readings through a mistake, usually the result of human error. Imagine measuring the length of hundreds of textbooks using a ruler which, for some reason, was missing the the first centimetre. Every measurment would be be 1 cm greater than it should be. This sort of systematic error is also known as a zero error.
