This best-selling text by John Taylor, now released in its
second edition, introduces the study of uncertainties to lower
division science students. Assuming no prior knowledge, the
author introduces error analysis through the use of familiar
examples ranging from carpentry to well-known historic
experiments. Pertinent worked examples, simple exercises
throughout the text, and numerous chapter-ending problems combine
to make the book ideal for use in physics, chemistry
and
engineering lab courses. This book has been translated into nine languages
and has more adoptions than we can count.
