This book sets out to demonstrate the critical approach that physics students should take towards all experimental work. The present edition retains the basic outlook of earlier editions, but modifications have been made in response to important changes in computational and experimental methods in the past decade. The text is in three parts. The first deals with the statistical treatment of data, the second with the experimental methods,, and finally, there is a section dealing with keeping efficient records, accuracy in arithmetic and how to write up the experiment. The book is liberally sprinkled throughout with examples and exercises.
