Full Description

One of the best ways for a student to develop a complete understanding of difficult concepts is by working through and solving problems. This Student Solutions Manual accompanies John Taylor's Introduction to Error Analysis, 3rd edition, restating the chapter-ending problems and including detailed solutions, with sometimes more than one solution per problem. Some solutions include the use of spreadsheets and Python, both of which are introduced in tutorials for readers who want to expand their skill sets.
