Statistics for physics student

[christodouloum]

I need a book that will explain tha statistical methods that we use in the analysis of the laboratory exercises done in the first years of a physics course. Stuff like standard deviation, standard error etc and also in handling errors. I know the formulas and some general instructions on where to use them, i just want some further explanation and a mathematical proof if possible so that i really know what i am doing and not just copy formulas from a book. Any suggestions?

As a physics student, it is important to have a strong understanding of statistical methods in order to accurately analyze laboratory data and handle errors. I would recommend the book "Statistical Methods for Physics" by Frederick James. This book provides a thorough explanation of statistical concepts and includes mathematical proofs to deepen your understanding. Additionally, it includes practical examples and exercises to help you apply these methods to your own experiments. Other helpful resources could include online tutorials or consulting with a professor or tutor for further clarification. With a solid understanding of statistics, you will be able to confidently analyze and interpret your experimental results.
