Measurements and Errors

 For the first lab, the intent is to introduce you to a few concepts and skills that you will use throughout the semester. You will be led through a variety of simple measurements and calculations with discussions of error analysis and reporting. In addition, you'll get to practice the fine art of rough estimates.

You'll need the following:

EQUIPMENT:

  1. A calculator.
  2. Pencil/pen and paper.
  3. A light jacket. Some find the lab a bit chilly.
