A concise, highly readable introduction to statistical methods! Even with a limited mathematics background, readers can understand what statistical methods are and how they may be used to obtain the best possible results from experimental measurements and data. The author describes the physical bases on which statistical theories are developed, and derives from them useful mathematical results and formulas for the evaluation and analysis of experimental data. Special mathematical techniques are explained as they are needed.

(This edition, co-authored by Roger Freedman and Hugh Youn...)
This edition, co-authored by Roger Freedman and Hugh Young, reflects the findings of current research in physics education, while adhering to the highest standards of rigorous, yet accessible content coverage, and pedagogical effectiveness. Goals of this revision include helping students develop physical intuition, and building strong problem-solving skills. Two decades of research on the conceptual pitfalls that commonly plague beginning physics students are reflected in this work. A key focus of the Ninth Edition is to discuss the correct way to analyze a situation or solve a problem, as well as why the wrong way (which may occur to a student first) is indeed wrong.

organist physics educator writer
Young, Hugh David was born on November 3, 1930 in Ames, Iowa, United States. Son of Hugh Surber and Nellie Sibella (Peters) Young.
He came to Carnegie Mellon as an undergraduate physics major in 1948, and, by 1959, had earned a Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy in Physics from the university. He later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in music in 1972, concentrating in organ performance.
Young is best known for co-authoring the later editions of University Physics, a highly regarded introductory physics textbook, with Francis Sears and Mark Zemansky (this book - first published in 1949 - is often referred to as "Sears and Zemansky", although Hugh Young became a coauthor in 1973). Except for brief visiting professorships at the University of California, Berkeley, Young spent 60 years at Carnegie Mellon. Now in its 13th edition, University Physics is among the most widely used introductory textbooks in the world.
Young also wrote an algebra-based version named Sears and Zemansky"s College Physics, which is currently in its 10th edition
Young died at the age of 82 on August 20, 2013 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania.
