Synopsis :

Each volume in the "Manchester Physics Series" has been developed as a physics or mathematical textbook at undergraduate level. The aim has been to produce books which allow courses of different lengths and degrees of difficulty to be selected, with emphasis on various applications. Flow diagrams are used throughout the texts to emphasize connections between different areas of the disciplines. This introduction to statistical methods, which assumes a reasonable degree of numeracy, emphasizes the theory of measurements and errors and the problem of estimation.

BarnettWritten by a physicist, Statistics is tailored to the needs ofphysical scientists, containing and explaining all they need toknow. It concentrates on parameter estimation, especially themethods of Least Squares and Maximum Likelihood, but othertechniques, such as hypothesis testing, Bayesian statistics andnon–parametric methods are also included. Intended for reasonablynumerate scientists it contains all the basic formulae, theirderivations and applications, together with some more advancedones. Statistics features:
∗ Comprehensive coverage of the essential techniques physicalscientists are likely to need.
∗ A wealth of examples, and problems with their answers.
∗ Flexible structure and organisation allows it to be used as acourse text and a reference.
∗ A review of the basics, so that little prior knowledge isrequired.
