Experimentation and Measurement (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Experimentation and MeasurementCorrespondingly, most research workers have little interest in measurements except as they serve the purpose of supplying needed information. The work of making measurements is all too often a tiresome and exacting task that stands between the research worker and the verification or disproving of his think ing on some special problem, It would seem ideal to many research workers if they had only to push a button to get the needed data.The experimenter soon learns, however, that measurements are subject to errors. Errors in measurement tend to obscure the truth or to mislead the experimenter. Accordingly, the experimenter seeks methods to make the errors in his measure ments so small that they will not lead him to incorrect answers to scientific questions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
