Messdatenauswertung im Physikalischen Praktikum

In this textbook, the handling of measurement data and their uncertainties is presented in a concise and descriptive manner based on current, internationally standardised methods (GUM: ISO/IEC 98-3:2008). For easier understanding, the reader is introduced to the basics of statistics and probability calculation in an introductory chapter with the help of illustrative examples. Basic knowledge about the nature of measurement deviations, about measurement uncertainty and probability distribution, the determination of combined and expanded measurement uncertainty and about compensation calculation is imparted. The main part of the book is directed towards the evaluation of measurement data for direct application in the physics practical course. For the essential types of measurement tasks, the reader will find a compilation of all necessary formulae for the determination of the best value and the combined and expanded measurement uncertainty as well as practical instructions for the determination of uncertainties according to type B (non-statistical method).Numerous calculated examples provide concrete instructions and demonstrate how the results are included in the practical protocol and how they are discussed.This compendium is suitable for students in a bachelor's degree or teaching degree programme in physics as well as for students in natural science and engineering degree programmes with a minor in physics.
