Topics for Student Presentations in Week 4
Static & Dynamic Response and Errors:

- Stull p502:  explain non-parametric statistics such as median, quartiles, percentiles.

- Brock p58-60 & other web resources:  teach more examples of proper use of significant figures.

- Stull p876 in Appendix A.  Demonstrate the calculation of error propagation for Planck's law, as was started on Stull's last slide in Static Response lecture.   Use T = 288 ± 0.1 K.   lambda = 10 ± 0.01 µm.  Use errors provided by NIST for Planck's constants.
(Two people could do this one:  where 1 person uses the rules presented in class, step by step.  The other person could use calculus*, as was demonstrated in the Higher Math box on p876.  *Not required if student hasn't had differential calculus.)
