Description for An Introduction to Error Analysis: The Study of Uncertainties in Physical Measurements
Paperback. This text introduces error analysis through simple and familiar examples from carpentry and well-known historic experiments where an understanding of errors was crucial to the success of the experiment. It is designed as a reference for students in the physical sciences and engineering. Num Pages: 448 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBC; PH. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 253 x 176 x 18. Weight in Grams: 620.
The need for error analysis is captured in the book's arresting cover shot - of the 1895 Paris train disaster (also available as a wall poster). The early chapters teach elementary techniques of error propagation and statistical analysis to enable students to produce successful lab reports. Later chapters treat a number of more advanced mathematical topics, with many examples from mechanics and optics. End-of-chapter problems include many that call for use of calculators or computers, and numerous figures help readers visualize uncertainties using error bars.
