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.
