What kinds of things can you measure quantitatively?
What kinds of things can you measure qualitatively?
What is the difference between a qualitative and quantitative measurement?
Which of these types of measurement are important in science?
In so far as possible, physics is exact and quantitative … though you will repeatedly see mathematical approximations made to get at the qualitative essence of phenomena.

Accuracy:
Precision:
A measure of closeness to the “truth”.
A measure of reproducibility.

Types of errors
Statistical error: Results from a random fluctuation in the process of measurement. Often quantifiable in terms of “number of measurements or trials”. Tends to make measurements less precise.
Systematic error: Results from a bias in the observation due to observing conditions or apparatus or technique or analysis. Tend to make measurements less accurate.

The parent distribution can take different shapes, depending on the nature of the measurement.
The two most common distributions one sees are the Gaussian and Poisson distributions.

The most common distribution one sees (and that which is best for guiding intuition) is the Gaussian distribution.

For this distribution, the most probable value, the median value and the average are all the same due to symmetry.

This is the form of the standard deviation you use in practice.
This quantity cannot be determined from a single measurement.

The standard deviation is a measure of the error made in each individual measurement.
Often you want to measure the mean and the error in the mean.
Which should have a smaller error, an individual measurement or the mean?

Most physical relationships involve multiple measurables!
y = F(x1,x2,x3,…)
Must take into account the dependence of the final measurable on each of the contributing quantities.

Partial derivatives
What’s the slope of this graph??
For multivariable functions, one needs to define a “derivative” at each point for each variable that projects out the local slope of the graph in the direction of that variable … this is the “partial derivative”.

The partial derivative with respect to a certain variable is the ordinary derivative of the function with respect to that variable where all the other variables are treated as constants.
