Some comments on extreme value statistics

General Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The question of whether extreme value statistics should be introduced into courses for physics students has been broached recently. Here it is argued that the topic should be taught but the many and varied physical applications should be stressed; emphasis should not be confined purely to abstract theory.
