Propagation of Uncertainty Explorer

Live Script exploring propagation of uncertainty with symbolic and numerical illustrations.

This Live Script explores propagation of uncertainty. The standard leading order theory of the propagation of uncertainty is derived, extensions beyond the leading order addressed, and symbolic and numerical experiments used to illustrate the theory graphically.

This script may interest students and instructors in introductory university physics and related fields and serve as a calculator. 'Try this' suggestions and a coding Challenge are included for further exploration.
