Scientific data. 520 $a"All students taking laboratory courses within the physical sciences and engineering will benefit from this book, whilst researchers will find it an invaluable reference. This concise, practical guide brings the reader up-to-speed on the proper handling and presentation of scientific data and its inaccuracies. It covers all the vital topics with practical guidelines, computer programs (in Python), and recipes for handling experimental errors and reporting experimental data. In addition to the essentials, it also provides further background material for advanced readers who want to understand how the methods work. Plenty of examples, exercises and solutions are provided to aid and test understanding, whilst useful data, tables and formulas are compiled in a handy section for easy reference"--Provided by publisher 650 4$aError analysis (Mathematics) 907 $a.b14244184$b08-06-22$c19-11-15 912 $a991002858619707536 945 $aLE006 53(022)+53.0.6 BER$cC. 1$g1$i2006000176538$lle006$op$pE27.01$q-$rn$so $t1$u1$v0$w1$x0$y.i15808816$z31-05-17 945 $aLE006 53(022)+53.0.6 BER$cC. 2$g1$i2006000176545$lle006$op$pE27.02$q-$rl$s- $t0$u1$v0$w1$x0$y.i15808828$z31-05-17 996 $aStudent's guide to data and error analysis$9254467 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale006$b19-11-15$cm$da $e $feng$genk$h2$i0
