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
routine, involving much arithmetic. An estimate of the error is,
however, an integral part of the presentation of the results of
experiments. This textbook is intended for undergraduates who are
carrying out laboratory experiments in the physical sciences for
the first time. It is a practical guide on how to analyse data and
estimate errors. The necessary formulas for performing calculations
are given, and the ideas behind them are explained, although this
is not a formal text on statistics. Specific examples are worked
through step by step in the text. Emphasis is placed on the need to
think about whether a calculated error is sensible. At first
students should take this book with them to the laboratory, and the
format is intended to make this convenient. The book will provide
the necessary understanding of what is involved, should inspire
confidence in the method of estimating errors, and enable numerical
calculations without too much effort. The author's aim is to make
practical classes more enjoyable. Students who use this book will
be able to complete their calculations quickly and confidently,
leaving time to appreciate the basic physical ideas involved in the
experiments.
