This short guide to modern error analysis is primarily intended to be used inundergraduate laboratories in the physical sciences. No prior knowledge of statistics is assumed. The necessary concepts are introduced where needed and illustrated graphically. The book emphasises the use of computers for error calculations and data fitting. INDICE: 1: Errors in the physical sciences; 2: Random errors in measurement; 3: Uncertainties as probabilities; 4: Error propagation; 5: Data visualisation and reduction; 6: Least-squares fitting of complex functions; 7: Computer minimisation and the error matrix; 8: Hypothesis testing - how good are ourmodels; 9: Topics for further summary
