>the math major wanting to go into mathematical physics
uh oh, i can't do this. i admit it, i can't work with my hands. can my theory prof just let me get a pass on the lab requirement?
>the aspiring theorist
Haha, experiment. Only for BRAINLETS! Haha, bleow my pay grade. Okay, uh-uh wait it's not working. TA! TA! wat do? oh oh yeah impedence matching. B-but now i can't calibrate it, TA, wat do? okay. let me plug this into LabView. But now I have data -- UGH EXCEL IS SO TOUGH!!!! I wish i could just use mathematica instead.

oh, i got that shit working in 10 minutes. just follow the lab manual! i wrote my own DAQ software for it to which plugs into my numpy libraries. i got a better result than the other groups since i modelled the systematic uncertainties using lognormal nuisance parameters and fit a model using the minuit python bindings, so my precision is 5x higher. i also rewrote the lab manual since it had a bunch of errors in the theory and analysis sections. you're welcome
