This hands-on guide is primarily intended to be used in undergraduate laboratories in the physical sciences and engineering. It introduces the necessary concepts where needed, with key points illustrated with worked examples and graphic illustrations. It assumes no prior knowledge of statistics.
The emphasis throughout is on practical strategies to be adopted in the laboratory.Error analysis is introduced at a level accessible to school leavers, and carried through to research level. In contrast to traditional mathematical treatments it uses a combination of spreadsheet and calculus-based approaches, suitable as a quick and easy on-the-spot reference. Error calculation and propagation is presented though a series of rules-of-thumb, look-up tables and approaches amenable to computer analysis.
The general approach uses the chi-square statistic extensively. Particular attention is
