Okay, here's the deal. The book's in pretty much brand-new condition. The catch is that it's not a very interesting book. It'll help you out with error propagation for your PHY 103 labs and might even net you some points on the final exam if you understand its contents. But, like most statistics, it's pretty boring. Sooooo, you should still buy it because I need to buy books too!

Description

From Amazon.com:

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. The first edition of this book has been translated into six languages.
