PHYSICS LAB.MAN. [Paperback]

Ideal for use with any introductory physics text, Loyd's PHYSICS LABORATORY MANUAL is suitable for either calculus- or algebra/trigonometry-based physics courses. Designed to help students demonstrate a physical principle and learn techniques of careful measurement, Loyd's PHYSICS LABORATORY MANUAL also emphasizes conceptual understanding and includes a thorough discussion of physical theory to help students see the connection between the lab and the lecture.
