Also most classes have maximum error formula assignment problems for instructors to assign for homework (answers/solutions to the assignment how to calculate percent error in volume problems are not given or available on the site).

Then the relative error is defined by where is differentials to the absolute error. The relative error of the quotient or product of a number of quantities is less than or equal to the sum of their relative errors. The percentage error is 100% times the relative error.

with: (1) Functions of several variables. (2) Evaluation of partial derivatives, and the chain rules of differentiation. (3) Manipulation of summations in algebraic context. At this mathematical level our presentation can be briefer. We can dispense with the tedious explanations and elaborations of previous chapters. 6.2 THE CHAIN RULE AND DETERMINATE ERRORS If a result R = R(x,y,z) is calculated from a number of data quantities, x, y and z, then the relation: [6-1] ∂R ∂R ∂R dR = —— dx + —— dy + —— dz ∂x ∂y ∂z
holds. This is one of the "chain rules" of calculus. This equation has as many terms as there are variables. Then, if the fractional errors are small, the differentials dR, dx, dy and dz may be replaced by the absolute errors ΔR, Δx, Δy, and Δz, and written: [6-2] ∂R ∂R ∂R ΔR ≈ —— Δx + —— Δy + —— Δz ∂x ∂y ∂z Strictly this is no longer an equality, but an approximation to DR, since the higher order terms in the Taylor expansion have been neglected. So long as the errors are of the order of a few percent or less, this will not matter. This equation is now an error propagation equation. [6-3] Finally, divide equation (6.2) by R: ΔR x ∂R Δx y ∂R Δy z ∂R Δz —— = —————+——— ——+————— R R ∂x x R ∂y y R ∂z z The factors of the form Δx/x, Δy/y, etc are relative (fractional) errors. This equation shows how the errors in the result depend on the errors in the data. Eq. 6.2 and 6.3 are called the standard form error equations. They are also called determinate error equations, because they are strictly valid for determinate errors (not indeterminat
