These two very different approaches to analysing data are described
and contrasted, using examples both from every-day life and from the
world of Physics. Their interpretations of 'probability' are
contrasted. When used for determining parameters of a theory, cases
where the resulting answers differ significantly are described.
Finally, a summary is given of the differences between the Bayesian
and Frequentist approaches.
