atyy, thank you for the reply. I might purchase both a book on the mathematical side and on the practical side.
For now though, I think I'll stick to the primary school of statistics until I have my footing, but Bayesian will be an interesting Wikipedia read for now :)
Thank you again.
Hello. I'm currently taking a lower level course in statistics. It is an okay course; however, it is not very rigorous and my professor is a "this is what you need to know" sort of teacher versus one who explains the theory and reasons behind the equations as well. The required textbook for...
My name is relativism. I'm a lower division undergraduate currently and I'm studying mathematics. I also have a strong interest in physics and study quite a bit on my own. My current ambitions are to go to grad school.
Thank you for creating Physics Forums and letting me be a part of your...
I see. This is partly troubling to me and it's a conclusion I've been attempting to work around to see if I can avoid a philosophical consequence.
What you're saying is that there is no such thing as absolute time-right? In other words, there's no sense in describing time at all. It's simply...
Hey guys, I've been learning about relativity recently and have a few thought experiments I'm pondering over. I'd appreciate input on the errors and validities of the consequences I've arrived at in my thoughts.
The first thought experiment involves measurement of time. If we have an analog...
