Out-of-Print for Years, Experimentation and Measurement, Now Available Experimentation and Measurement was written by Dr. W.J. Youden, Applied Mathematics Division, National Bureau of Standards in 1961, and appeared as a VISTAS of SCIENCE book in 1962. The VISTAS of SCIENCE series was developed and produced by the National Science Teachers’ Association. Nearly a quarter of a century after its publication, Experimentation and Measurement still enjoys wide popularity. Dr. Youden was unsurpassed in his skill in communicating sophisticated ideas in simple language. Moreover, he has created ingenious examples based on common everyday measurements in this book. It provides an excellent introduction to the realistic consideration of errors of measurement, and illustrates how statistics can contribute to the design, analysis and interpretation of experiments involving measurement data. The VISTAS of SCIENCE version has been out-of-print for a number of years. The original book has been reproduced in its entirety to preserve its authenticity, and to recognize the contributions of the National Science Teachers’ Association.
