The uncertainties package is a free, cross-platform program that transparently
|
|
handles calculations with numbers with uncertainties (like 3.14+/-0.01). It can
|
|
also yield the derivatives of any expression.
|
|
|
|
The uncertainties package takes the pain and complexity out of uncertainty
|
|
calculations. Error propagation is not to be feared anymore!
|
|
|
|
Calculations of results with uncertainties, or of derivatives, can be performed
|
|
either in an interactive session (as with a calculator), or in programs written
|
|
in the Python programming language. Existing calculation code can run with
|
|
little or no change.
|
|
|
|
Whatever the complexity of a calculation, this package returns its result with
|
|
an uncertainty as predicted by linear error propagation theory. It automatically
|
|
calculates derivatives and uses them for calculating uncertainties. Almost all
|
|
uncertainty calculations are performed analytically.
|
|
|
|
Correlations between variables are automatically handled, which sets this module
|
|
a part from many existing error propagation codes.
