Summary

This book presents the fundamental concepts, theory and procedures used in the analysis of experimental data in a clear and concise fashion, without allowing the mathematical element to become unnecessarily burdensome. It is an introductory text written for engineering students which allows a well-balanced treatment of theory and applications. A wealth of case studies are also included.
