The presentations on 29 Nov and 6 Dec will be Measurement Errors: Behaviors and Analysis.
I updated the handout and re-posted it on Friday evening. I corrected a few typos, modified some existing material starting on page 15, and expanded the Least Squares Adjustment section. Click here to access the handout.
Powerpoints
