E-raamat: Methods of Experimental Physics

"Apart from being very competent with the issues of experimental measurement methods and, particularly, the area of measurement and interpretation of information obtained via registration of electromagnetic radiation, M. Pergament possesses a remarkable skill in outlining the problem and showing ways to solve it. Undeniable literary talent combined with the authors experience and broad-mindedness makes his books not only cognitive in the context of understanding true measurement methods and interpretation of results but also absolutely riveting. All these qualities of the author are demonstrated in this book." Professor Valery Kurnaev, Head of Plasma Physics Department, National Research Nuclear University MEPhI

"The author concentrates on the principles of the methods rather than excessive detail to give the reader the ability to plan and conduct experiments and to select the proper equipment for measurements that suit the reader's needs. The clear and concise presentation of each method with the background theory, along with many examples, allows the reader to gain a good understanding of the technique being presented and thus enables the reader to apply this knowledge to their individual situation. ... The background and methods used in this book provide an excellent basis for understanding many useful measurement techniques that can be used to quantify the world around us. Experimentalists using the type of equipment described will thoroughly enjoy this book." John J. Shea, from IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, November/December 2015
