"Score a hit! The book reveals the exceptional skill of the author as lecturer and teacher. A valuable reference work for any student (or instructor) in the sciences and engineering." --The Physics Teacher "This text provides a rational, step-by-step introduction to understanding and estimating random uncertainties in physical measurements. Although the text is intended primarily for undergraduate students, I find it useful as well at the research level, to introduce graduate students to unfamiliar topics in the study of experimental uncertainties...a high-quality resource [students] can continue to learn from, even after they graduate." --Physics Today

    Even though the item received didn’t match the item description it was new in the original box. The seller was contacted and the honest mistake was brought to his attention. The purchase price was refunded from the seller no questions asked. I rate the seller 5 stars just based on integrity and would do business again.

    The books I received are like brand new, so I would have to say better than described. I received the books 2 days before the scheduled delivery date. The packaging of the books was done in a way that the books would not get damaged. I’ve been looking for these particular books for a while now and definitely got the best value for my buck. I highly recommend this seller!!!
