I'm looking for a good reference book on data analysis techniques for science (namely physics) that has a lot of programming applications and some decent error analysis coverage.

Right now I'm analyzing large datasets of telescope arrays and would like something to learn from as this is my first big research project I've undertaken. So far I've mainly been working in python on a cluster running scripts to reorganize/consolidate the data and need to be able to do more stuff like monte carlo simulations, etc.

Thanks in advance.
