An Introduction to Error Analysis: The Study of Uncertainties in Physical Measurements Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: introduction to error analysis
Comment: If you have ever had to read or study a book on probability and find yourself saying, "what did he say?" and find yourself rereading the page a second or third time, buy this book. it is well written and understandable. it covers everything i need to know about error analysis and probability, and probably everything you will need to know too.

Summary: Excellent, Well Paced Error Analysis Text
Comment: This book does an excellent job of starting from the basics and then building on them at a comfortable pace until the reader has been taken to the more advanced and useful points of error analysis. This book is clearly written, with appropriate and helpful examples throughout. The practice problems at the end of the chapters are relevant and straightforward, further aiding the learning process. The author not only understands the subject of error analysis inside and out, he also knows the right way to teach it. Though the book approaches error analysis from a physics point of view, I found it very applicable to all of my scientific coursework, including biochemistry and (especially) analytical chemistry.

Summary: Excellent intro to probability & statistics, theory & practice
Comment: This book is perfect for somebody who was never properly introduced to formal probability and statistics. The language is easy to understand and each chapter not only explains the "what," but makes sure you understand the "why" as well. Also introduces you to more complicated aspects of the subject--binomial & poisson distributions, chi-squared analysis, etc.

Summary: anyone got a match???
Comment: This book is boring and basically is just another statistics book. if you have some sick twwisted interest in estimating error, buy this book otherwise find something more interesting. if you have to use this for a class, Im sorry, i feel your pain.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great for first year laboratory science
Comment: This book is written for the introductory physics student, but it helped me get a good understanding of experimental error in my chemistry lab. The author presents error analysis using simple scenerios and without going too deep into calculus and statistics.
