Description

Measurements and their Uncertainties: A practical guide to modern error analysis is a hands-on resource for undergraduate laboratories in physical sciences and engineering. It assumes no prior knowledge of statistics, introducing necessary concepts with worked examples and graphic illustrations.

The book combines spreadsheet and calculus-based approaches, providing a quick and easy reference suitable for on-the-spot use. Practical strategies are emphasized throughout, covering error analysis from school leaver to research level. Key techniques include the chi-square statistic, hypothesis testing, and extracting parameters with uncertainties.

Advanced fitting strategies and an introduction to Bayesian analysis conclude the book, which also explains routines implemented by most contemporary data analysis packages. This guide is ideal for those needing a practical approach to error analysis in their work or studies.
