Book Overview

It is usually straightforward to calculate the result of a practical experiment in the laboratory. Estimating the accuracy of that result is often regarded by students as an obscure and tedious... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Very useful book

It's easy to understand. Not good for a reference, but good for giving you the concept!

The best teacher of stats I've had

I have taken a few physics labs at this point and have seen my share of appendices on statistics in the back of the lab manuals. They taught me about how to plug in the numbers and told me a little bit about why the equations mattered, but little else.This slim, inexpensive book has done a magnificent job about teaching you not only how to do the math (it includes problems and has solutions in the back) but also how to think about different types of experiment error, and where it is appropriate to use certain equations or error-propagation approximations. If you ever have trouble with basic lab statistics, or are just getting started as a science major, this is a great book to have.

Great book for experimental physics students.

This book really covers it all - from error handling and propagation to how to make data regression for data analysis and so on - for the experimental physics student. It's very well written in a direct and right-to-the-point way. Definatly a great book.
