Matthew M. J. French

This new book aims to guide both the ‘experimentalist’ and ‘theoretician’ through their compulsory laboratory course forming part of an undergraduate physics degree. Some students will have left school believing that physics experiments ‘never work’. Designing and performing good physics experiments is a craft, it is a skill developed gradually over time. Each and every concept has been described in such a manner with easy to understand language that students will grasp the subject easily. The thinking behind this book is to persuade students of the value and beauty within a carefully planned and executed experiment and help them to develop the skills to carry out experiments themselves. 
Those students who are completing undergraduate research projects and beginning a doctorate will also find helpful and relevant sections. Graduate students supervising laboratory sessions will find this a useful resource: especially the dedicated section on ‘Demonstrating Undergraduate Physics Laboratory’. 
Matt French has a Ph.D. in experimental condensed matter physics. He spent four years demonstrating experiments in the first year physics laboratory and is at present Head of Physics at Prior Park College, Bath.
