(ENG)

4 points + 12 lectures per semester, 4 hours per week practical exercises (total 48 hours), 44 hours private study + First semester + Clayton

Synopsis: Experimental errors. Measurement and frequency distribution. Mean, mode and standard deviation. Standard deviation of the mean. Probability distributions. Linear and multiple regression. Correlation. Confidence levels. t tests. Covariance. Non-parametric statistics. Experimental design. Laboratory experiments using measurements requiring application of elementary statistical techniques. Laboratory experiments introducing techniques fundamental to materials characterisation, including metallographic preparation and examination of microstructures.
