The textbook involves thirty college experiments in the field of mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics and modern physics. The textbook is organized as follows: the first part including Chapter 11 and 12 introduces the error theory, as well as the skill to process and analyze data with using Origin software. Specifically, experimental skills such as experimental tablemaking, scientific calculation, figure plotting, standard deviation, error transfer, curve fitting and other will be learned.The part two consists of fifteen fundamental experiments which train students to grasp basic experimental skills. In the third part, students will challenge fifteen advanced and comprehensive experiments, and develop their independent and innovative thinking.
