Example lab report

[LuckyJosh]

First 4 days are done

the next 5 are WORK IN PROGRESS

To have a more or less realistic example report, I conducted a series of experiments (objects rolling down an inclined plane) and wrote an almost[1] complete lab report for it.

The overall idea is to have not only a somewhat realistic example but also building up this example. Currently the final report is done and I'm going to split the final result into pieces, that can be done as progressive exercises (essentially recreating the template piece by piece) with the final report as a comparison.

My rough idea of the steps are:

• [x] Day 1: Python
  • Setup the folder an a python script
  • Some calculations with loops?
• [x] Day 2: Numpy, Matplotlib
  • loading data with numpy
  • calculations with numpy
  • adding the plots (without fits)
• [x] Day 3: Scipy, uncertainties
  • adding the fits
  • adding uncertainties
• [x] Day 4: unix, git
  • turning the folder into a git repo (doing git stuff, push to github ...)
• [ ] Day 5: LaTeX-intro
  • adding a first version of the document (maybe all in one file)
  • splitting it up into multiple files
• [ ] Day 6: LaTeX-Math
  • Adding the equations to the respective sections
• [ ] Day 7: LaTeX-Floats and Bibliography
  • Adding the plots as figures
  • Adding the tables by typing them out (not via the script)
  • Adding the sources to the bib files
• [ ] Day 8: LaTeX + Matplotlib
  • adding header-matplotlib and matplotlibrc
• [ ] Day 9: Make
  • Adding the Makefile

[1] All sections do contain some 'real-world' examples for tables, images, equations (single and multiline), and references to any of these. And the overall structure fits as well, but I did not find anything to write in the discussion section, that would make the example any better (I just left a todo note).

couple of small things to improve, all in all it is really a beautiful example! Well done.

Thanks for the review :+1:

The first 4 days of 'steps' towards the protocol are now done.

Thinking about this, I don't like:

• how big this PR is right now (and going to be) and
• that multiple files are duplicated

I'll post the todo list as an issue and going to change the structure of this PR in a new one.
