Items related to Practical Physics
This book sets out to demonstrate the purpose and critical approach that should be made to all experimental work in physics. It does not describe a systematic course in practical 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, and here the text has been extensively revised to take account of the now widespread use of electronic calculators. The second deals with experimental methods, giving details of particular experiments that demonstrate the art and craft of the experimenter. The third part deals with such essential matters as keeping efficient records, accuracy in arithmetic, and writing good, scientific English.

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.
