Learning verification modality
The assessment takes place in two phases: 1. A written test aimed at verifying the knowledge of statistical data processing. 2. Reports - the working groups prepare, based on the experimental activities carried out in the laboratory, a report in which the experience is described and the results are discussed. Optional oral test - preparation and acquired skills are assessed by discussing in detail the contents of the reports produced and the written test on statistical data processing.
Extended program
Measurement unit systems, fundamental quantities - Measurement errors - Functional relationships between physical quantities - Graphs. Random and systematic errors - Statistical distributions - Least squares - Statistical tests - Introduction to Bayesian statistics - Use of the Python programming language applied to statistical data processing. Laboratory experiments complementing the Physics I course.
