Description for Probability and Statistics in Experimental Physics
hardcover. Intended as a practical guide for advanced undergraduates. This book focuses on applications and techniques that are used in experimental physics, and on the use of computers. It includes a chapter on queuing problems, and introduces a method for dealing with experiments in which only a few events are observed. Series: Undergraduate Texts in Contemporary Physics. Num Pages: 264 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBT; PDN; PH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 553.
Intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this book is a practical guide to the use of probability and statistics in experimental physics. The emphasis is on applications and understanding, on theorems and techniques actually used in research. The text is not a comprehensive text in probability and statistics; proofs are sometimes omitted if they do not contribute to intuition in understanding the theorem. The problems, some with worked solutions, introduce the student to the use of computers; occasional reference is made to routines available in the CERN library, but other systems, such as Maple, can also be used.

Reviews for Probability and Statistics in Experimental Physics
From the reviews of the second edition: "This book is the second edition … of a practical introduction into probability and statistics in experimental physics. The book is primarily written for undergraduate and graduate students and contains a new chapter on queueing theory and an additional discussion of the Feldman-Cousins unified method for estimating confidence intervals." (Ulrich Horst, ... Read more
