Abstract

In preparation for scientific work, especially the physics lab courses as well as semester and master's theses, students receive an introduction to many relevant aspects of data acquisition (measurement technology), software-aided data processing (error calculus, statistics, comparison with models up to machine learning) and data representation (graphs, interpretation).

Objective

(a) Understanding of the measurement process in general; (b) Know-how in digital data analysis; (c) Capability to draw scientifically correct conclusions from data; (d) Outlook towards machine learning methods to analyze large data sets ("Big Data").
