Uncertainty Analysis for Engineers and Scientists

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'This book would be an ideal text for an introductory uncertainty analysis course in any engineering discipline. It offers an excellent mix of theory and practice, with numerous engineering examples (using both Excel and MATLAB (R)) on every topic discussed. It also provides a large number of problems at the end of each chapter, something I find to be relatively uncommon among similar texts.' Jake Blanchard, University of Wisconsin, Madison 'Uncertainty Analysis for Engineers and Scientists is an excellent supplemental text for any science or engineering laboratory course. The book presents a straightforward but thorough discussion of uncertainty and includes tools - in the form of worksheets - that allow students to systematically evaluate and consider error estimates. Examples are accessible and well-chosen and range from bathroom scales and commuting times to thermocouples, multimeters, and differential pressure meters. A welcome resource for students and practitioners alike.' Susan Muller, University of California, Berkeley 'Morrison's book seems suitable for use as a required or supplementary textbook in many undergraduate STEM courses. Of possible interest is that the ebook is available through the Cambridge Core interface for unlimited use, free of digital rights management impediments ... Highly recommended.' J. J.
