The scienti c method is based on the measurement of di erent
physical qu- tities and the search for relations between their
values. All measured values of physical quantities are, however, a
ected by uncertainty. Understanding the origin of uncertainty,
evaluating its extent, and suitably taking it into account in data
analysis, are fundamental steps for assessing the global accuracy
of physical laws and the degree of reliability of their
technological applications. The introduction to uncertainty
evaluation and data analysis procedures is generally made in
laboratory courses for freshmen. During my long-lasting teaching
experience, I had the feeling of some sort of gap between the ava-
able tutorial textbooks, and the specialized monographs. The
present work aims at lling this gap, and has been tested and modi
ed through a feedback interaction with my students for several
years. I have tried to maintain as much as possible a tutorial
approach, that, starting from a phenomenolo- cal introduction,
progressively leads to an accurate de nition of uncertainty and to
some of the most common procedures of data analysis, facilitating
the access to advanced monographs. This book is mainly addressed to
- dergraduate students, but can be a useful reference for
researchers and for secondary school teachers. The book is divided
into three parts and a series of appendices. Part I is devoted to a
phenomenological introduction to measurement and uncertainty. In
