That would be a good study as well: how far error analysis has advanced in just forty years. Unfortunately, I have yet to acquire the sophistication to fully appreciate the error-analysis in most professional papers. Thus I must focus on the earlier development first, as it is something I have...

I checked the book out. I find it to be just a rehashing of error analysis. I am looking more for its historical development--the story of how it evolved in the sciences from just armchair observation with little to no actual measuring (like Aristotle) to the mathematical and computational world...

Thank you for the reference. I just found the call number in the library and will take the book out tomorrow.

I am considering experimental physics. Thank you for the link; they sound like my kind of people.

Hello, all, I am wondering if anyone can provide me information on the historical origin of error analysis; that is, with the quantification and mathematical manipulation of uncertainties in measurement. I find that all the textbooks I have stumbled upon provide a narrative of physical...

I am an undergraduate student of physics in Toronto, looking forward to learning and exploring physics with this community. I'm generally interested in the process of measurement and the analysis of data. The finer details and discoveries of physics are intriguing; however, my love is with how...
