We present measurements of absolute excitation differential cross sections for electron scattering by ground-state sodium in the 3[ital P] manifold at 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.0, 3.3, and 3.7 eV in the angular range 1[degree] to 60[degree]. No calibration or normalization procedures are involved. Comparisons with computational results of the close-coupling approximation and experimentally obtained [Delta][ital M][sub [ital s]]- and [Delta][ital M][sub [ital L]]-changing cross sections are made.
