Principles of Measurement Systems Reviews
Customer Rating:
Summary: Useless without lecture notes
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: quite challenging
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: it is a good book
Comment: the book is good, one part is introducted in the textbook of our university.
