Frequently Asked Questions
Error propagation is the process of determining the uncertainty of a result based on the uncertainties of the input variables used in a calculation.
The calculator supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and power (A^B) operations.
For addition/subtraction, the uncertainty is the square root of the sum of squares of individual uncertainties. For multiplication/division, relative uncertainties are combined. For power, a more complex formula involving natural log is used.
