PHYS 301 - Advanced Physics Lab

Institution:

University of Wisconsin-River Falls

Subject:

Description:

This is a writing intensive course. This laboratory familiarizes students with the statistical analysis of experimental data. Emphasis is placed on experimental design to minimize experimental uncertainty. Early in the semester experiments illustrating and applying Gaussian and Poisson statistics, least-squares fitting and propagation of errors are performed. These techniques are then used in experiments on advanced mechanical systems. Extensive use is made of computers in the analysis. Formal experiment writeups required. Prerequisites: PHYS 204, 264, 311, 362 and MATH 331.(F)
