Statistics

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.
