Presentation: Determination of the Boltzmann Constant by analyzing Thermal Noise - SME0123 - Statistics

This presentation was prepared as an evaluative activity for the course SME0123 - Statistics, taught in the second semester of 2024 by Prof. Dr. Daiane de Souza.

Date	Title

IMPORTANT

This work was a statistical analysis of the results obtained through experiments carried out with the Einstein-Boltzmann board whose information is available in the following repository.

I apologize, as until now I did not have time to translate the presentation and scripts into English. Additionally, for Portuguese speakers we have the README-br in Brazilian Portuguese 🇧🇷.

Banner/Poster

Available at main.pdf.

Template Used

The template used, poster.typ, was sourced from the repository typst-poster, with only minor adaptations.

Compile the Presentation

Download the dependencies yourself, which primarily include typst and a PDF viewer.

Or use nix to manage the dependencies for you:

nix --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes'
nix develop -c $SHELL

Then, compile with:

typst compile main.typ

You should now have a main.pdf to take a look!

Run Jupyter Notebook

The data and the script used to generate the graphs and tables are in the scripts/ folder.

By default, Jupyter, as well as the PDF, should open by default when running nix develop -c $SHELL, but if this does not happen for some reason. Just run:

jupyter notebook&

# If you are on Linux:
xdg-open http://127.0.0.1:8888/notebooks/scripts/main.ipynb
# Otherwise, just open the link above in your preferred browser

For more details about the software dependencies (which include Python dependencies) of this project, look in the shell.nix file.
