Experimentation: An Introduction to Measurement Theory and Experiment Design (3rd Edition)

A supplement to all introductory physics courses which have a strong lab component. The ever-increasing use of the computer as a tool for data analysis and acquisition has not eliminated the need for a grounding, sound experimentation design, Baird continues to emphasize the fundamentals of experimentation with added consideration for the power of new technology.
