Experimental Methods at a Glance
Experimental methods for physics including measurement, uncertainty analysis, and experimental design. Covers the scientific method applied to physics, the SI unit system, significant figures, uncertainty and error analysis (systematic vs. random, propagation of uncertainty), dimensional analysis (Buckingham Pi theorem), experimental design (controls, variables, reproducibility), data analysis (linear regression, chi-squared, curve fitting), lab safety, landmark physics experiments (Millikan, Cavendish, photoelectric effect, Michelson-Morley), graphical analysis, and order-of-magnitude estimation (Fermi problems). Use when designing experiments, analyzing data, reporting measurements, or making back-of-the-envelope estimates.
