Safety is very important to everyone involved in the Advanced Physics Labs. Here is a link to the Health and Safety Web Site of the Physics Department, which every student should be familiar with. In particular, there is important information on Emergency Responses, Hazards you may encounter in this course, and Safety Training. Before starting any experiment, please read the provided handout carefully, discuss any potential safety issues with the supervising professor, and use any necessary safety equipment.
A recommended text for data analysis, which may be a large part of this course depending on which experiments you do, is
"Data Reduction and Error Analysis for the Physical Sciences, 3rd
edition" by Phillip Bevington and Keith Robinson, Copyright 2002 by
McGraw-Hill. It should be available in the U of T bookstore (if it isn't,
please tell the course coordinator). Introductory Uncertainty Lecture Slides by Prof. David Bailey, 8 January 2013.
A lecture by Prof. Peter Krieger "Practical Introduction to Measurement Uncertainties in the Labs", 8 Sep 2009: PDF Format (1.76 MB file)
Notes from Professor Thywissen's Data Analysis Talk, 11 Sep 2007: PDF Format (3.7 MB file)
Error Analysis in Experimental Physical Science by Dr. David Harrison: www.upscale.utoronto.ca/PVB/Harrison/ErrorAnalysis/
