- Discussion of Lab #1
- Discussion of changes to course
- Calculating mean +/- standard error of the mean
- This is the foundation: allow us to find the most likely value of a parameter, with an associated value. Knowing how to do this is essential for more sophisticated things we will learn: error propagation, fitting functions, etc.
- Central limit theorem (I): (Last week) distribution of averaged measurmeents ... (II): distribution of single measurement as a result of a bunch of small, independent, random errors.
