statistical methods of data analysis in particle physics. When reading the book, some parts can be skipped, especially in the first five chapters. Where necessary, back references are included. We welcome comments, suggestions and indications of mistakes and typ-ing errors. We are prepared to discuss or answer questions to specific statis-
Providing a modern introduction to statistics, this book is ideal for undergraduates in physics. It intro-duces the necessary tools required to analyse data from experiments across a range of areas, making it a valuable resource for students.
STATISTICAL DISTRIBUTIONS for experimentalists by Christian Walck Particle Physics Group Fysikum University of Stockholm (e-mail: walck@physto.se)
Historically, the techniques of statistical mechanics proved to be a crucial tool for understanding the deeper laws of physics. Not only is the development of the subject intimately tied with the first evidence for the existence of atoms, but quantum me-chanics itself was discovered by applying statistical methods to decipher the spectrum
Is it wet? Is it hot? What colour is it? Is the box in danger of exploding? What happens if we squeeze it, pull it, heat it up? How can we begin to answer these kind of questions starting from the fundamental laws of physics?

There are two textbooks for this class: Schroeder’s “An Introduction to Thermal Physics” and Jaffe’s “The Physics of Energy.” We’ll have a reading list that explains which sections correspond to each lecture.
