Abstract:
Evaluation, analysis and interpretation of data is an important task of all sciences. Students should be introduced to a critical relationship with numbers. As an example, the two aspects measurement of a single value and investigation of the functional interrelationship of two measured values are discussed. The current mathematical subject should be applied, practised and constantly repeated. The proposed examples are interesting experiments, which allow us to mix empirical and mathematical conclusions.
