INTRODUCTORY LABORATORY PHYSICS
by M.H. ANSARIZADEH and ETTA WALKER
1st ed., 146 pages, $15.95 
ISBN 978-0-89641-156-2
This book
provides a comprehensive set of experiments for students of Introductory
Physics. Many of the experiments require students, in their data
analyses, to construct graphs and demonstrate the functional relationships
between sets of experimental variables. In all cases referenced
in these experiments, linear relationships exist mathematically
between sets of variables; and straight-line graphs should result.
Students are expected to become proficient at constructing linear
graphs of experimental data. A list of general references is provided
for students to help in preparing for experimental work to be
accomplished.
