Synopsis

Explore the full scope of physical measurements with a trusted, rigorously built reference.

This classic guide covers the theory and practice of measuring physical quantities, from handling errors to applying advanced data methods, with a practical focus that supports real experiments and investigations.

The present edition expands the scope of the original work, including more explanations and directions for research while keeping the core goal of turning theory into verifiable experiments. Translated from the German edition and enriched with new material, it features extensive tables, updated references, and practical guidance that remains accessible to students and working scientists alike.

• Learn methods for handling measurement errors, applying least-squares techniques, and calculating corrections.
• Get comprehensive coverage of density, heat, elasticity, optics, magnetism, and many other physical quantities, with tables and examples.
• Discover procedures for adjusting balances, weighing, interpolation, and numerical calculations to improve accuracy.
• Benefit from a well-organized reference that includes appendices and expanded bibliographic resources for further study.

Ideal for readers of introductory and advanced physics, engineering, and metrology who need a solid, reference-ready foundation in physical measurements.
