Synopsis

This publication introduces a range of practical skills that will be useful for students who are undertaking laboratory work in physics. Experiments have played, and continue to play, a crucial role in developing our understanding of the physical world, and the best way to get a feel for the role of experiments is to do some for yourself.

CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK

This book provides a sound basis for tackling physics experiments in the first couple of years of a university course. It concentrates on generic aspects of physics experimentation; planning for an experiment, keeping records of what you do, estimating uncertainties in measurements, analysing data numerically and graphically and producing a written report.
