Currently working through "Probability and Statistics: A Course for Physicists." It’s refreshing to see stats taught through the lens of:✅ Signal vs. Background✅ Confidence Intervals✅ Propagation of Errors

I’ve been diving into "Probability and Statistics: A Course for Physicists" and it’s a game-changer for anyone dealing with experimental data. Unlike standard math texts, this focus is tailored for the physical sciences: Moving beyond simple standard deviations.
If you are specifically using the Louis Lyons book, mention his name—he is highly respected in the High Energy Physics community.
