68415 Measurement and Analysis of Physical Processes

6cp; 5hpw
Requisite(s): (68201 Physics in Action OR 68037 Physical Modelling) AND (33290c Computing and Mathematics for Science OR 33230 Mathematical Modelling 2)

This is predominantly an experimentally based subject. It builds upon the approach to experimentation introduced in the first year and provides a firm foundation for later experimental work. In particular, a focus is brought to methods of measurement and principles of data analysis of relevance to laboratory-based experimentation. The subject reinforces basic principles with practical applications drawn from various areas of applied physics. An experimentally based project is a major feature of this subject, where experimental design, data analysis and faithful and accurate reporting are emphasised.
