Excerpt from A Manual of Physical Measurements The close attention to every detail and the exercise of deliberate judgment which are required in every experiment if a worthy result is to be obtained, tend to produce a habit of accuracy which is of inestimable value. This training is obtained only when every effort is made to get the very best result that the time allowed for the experiment and the apparatus employed will permit. Before observations on any experiment are begun, the theory of the experiment should be mastered as well as the functions of the various parts of the apparatus which is to be used. Without such study, necessary observations may be omitted or taken in the wrong way, and apparatus whose value depends upon its accuracy may be injured permanently because of a lack of knowl edge about its delicate parts. Furthermore it is important to determine the degree of accuracy of every result which is obtained. Errors - For various reasons it is impossible to obtain the absolute value of an unknown quantity. Any measurement is affected, to a greater or less extent, by errors which may be classified under the two heads: constant and accidental. As examples of constant errors may be mentioned the following. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Student's Manual of a Laboratory Course in Physical Measurements: Revised Edition Observations should not be entered at random over the page, but according to a carefully planned system; and each should be accompanied by a memorandum so full that another person in reviewing the notes could, at a glance, determine its meaning, of what it is a measure, and in what units it is expressed. This above all things is essential It is desirable that the observations and calculations should admit of ready comparison one part with another. The notes should therefore be compact and well arranged, and the writing and figuring closely Spaced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Manual of Physical Measurements: For the Use of Students in Columbia College Preparing for Admission to the Schools of Mines, Engineering and Chemistry of Columbia University, in the City of New York The present laboratory manual is a revision of a manual entitled Physical Laboratory Notes issued by Professor Wendell in 1913. It has been revised to meet the especial needs of students in Columbia College who are preparing for admission to the graduate schools of Mines, Engineering and Chemistry of Columbia Uni versity, and for those majoring in the natural sciences and in particular in physics and chemistry. The exercises were selected to emphasize those important fundamental principles and con cepts in physics that are of vital importance to a clear under standing of the scientific and engineering courses that follow. They are, at the same time, well adapted to afi'ord an excellent means of training the student in the handling of delicate appar atus, and in the correct methods of observing and recording data, of estimating the accuracy of the measured quantities and of pre paring adequate reports, - matters of large importance in a cor rect experimental procedure in testing and in research labora tories. They also serve as an introduction to the leading books and tables of reference which are so indispensable in later work.
