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.
