AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on selecting a book for self-study on error analysis and data fitting, specifically for experimental particle physics research. Two recommended texts are Bevington and Robinson's "Data Reduction and Error Analysis for the Physical Sciences" and Taylor's "An Introduction to Error Analysis: The Study of Uncertainties in Physical Measurements." Participants indicate that both books are valuable, with Bevington being a classic choice and Taylor's book also receiving positive feedback for its clarity and usefulness. The thread also notes the importance of the Academic Guidance/Science Books Discussions category for such inquiries.

Hi,

Well, I thought posting this question here is more relevant.
I want to self-study a book about error analysis and data fitting. I have two books available, the one by bevington and robinson: "Data Reduction and Error Analysis for the Physical Sciences" and the one by taylor: "An Introduction to Error Analysis: The Study of Uncertainties in Physical Measurements"

I would like your opinion, which one should I start with? I am doing an experimental particle physics research and I need to know about error analysis and data fitting.

thanks in advance,

Admin. Thank you for moving the thread, I did not know about the Academic Guidance/Science Books Discussions...It is great!
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
