概率论和统计学的概念不仅对那些想要从事实验物理学工作的物理学家，而且对那些想要将模型和/或理论与实验结果进行比较的物理学家来说都是至关重要的。在这门课程中，我们将修订概率论和统计学的一般概念，以及一些最常出现在物理学中的概率分布，包括抽样分布，如χ2，它对决定理论模型与实验数据的拟合质量很重要。我们还将讨论误差传播和比较理论与实验结果的方法，包括参数估计，最大似然和最小二乘。
Notions of probability and statistics are of fundamental importance not only for those physicists who want to work in experimental physics, but also for those who want to perform comparison of models and/or theory with experimental results. In this course we will revise the general ideas of probability and statistics as well as some probability distributions which most frequently appear in physics, including sampling distributions like the χ2 one, which are important to decide about the quality of theoretical models fits to experimental data. We will also discuss error propagation and methods to compare theory with experimental results, including parameter estimators, Maximum Likelihood and Least Squares.
