Description

Figliola and Beasley?s Fifth Edition provides revised material for engineering practice with important updates on coverage of probability and statistics and uncertainty analysis, including added material on Monte Carlo simulation, digital image processing, and with revised coverage of signal acquisition, conditioning, and processing. Maintaining and building upon its signature comprehensive coverage using focused examples to aid understanding, this text provides a timely and in-depth reference to the theory and the applications of engineering measurements, measurement system performance, and instrumentation.
