Synopsis
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.

Book Description
This classic companion to undergraduate practical work in physics describes the purposeful, critical approach that should be made to all physics experiments. It covers the statistical treatment of data, experimental methods, and gives advice on keeping efficient records, calculatio ns, and scientific writing. The new up-to-date edition includes further statistics, new experimental material, and worked examples based on spreadsheets. Practical Physics is liberally illustrated with examples and exercises with solutions. It has proved of interest not only to undergraduates, but also to school students, teachers, and researchers in many disciplines.
