1.0 out of 5 stars Useless without lecture notes, June 25, 2004
By "alfonzodeburca" (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Measurement Systems (Paperback)
If you hope to use this book to get a general overview of measurement systems, then you may be alright, but if you want to be able to perform actual calculations, you should look elsewhere.

This book contains absolutely no worked examples. This leads the reader unable to do the end of chapter problems as the book does not contain detailed mathematical definitions of some of the most important elements contained within in the problems.

For instance, in chapter two, you are required to calculate the environmental coupling constants. Sadly, no where in the book does it actually explain how to do this.

In summary, Principles of Measurements Systems is an incomplete volume, which reads more like a 1st draft than a 3rd edition.

Very disappointing.

2.0 out of 5 stars quite challenging, October 5, 2000
By rob (Bolton, UK) - See all my reviews
I thought this book rather too challenging for the beginner and feel that unless you are pretty knowledgeable about the subject then there are other, simpler books that you should buy.
