Error Propagation Calculator Physics
Z = XY or mathematical functions of the type: Z = 1/X ; Z = ln(X) ; Z = log10(X) ; Z = 10X how do you calculate error propagation ; Z = eX ; Z = sqrt(X) . If uncertainties (dX, dY) are provided for the input quantities (X,Y), the program will perform the operation or function to calculate the answer (Z) and will also calculate the uncertainty in the answer (dZ). The program will assume the value has no error propagation example uncertainty if an uncertainty is not provided. Operation: Position the cursor on the blank under "X", click the mouse, and type a value. Alternately, press the TAB key until the cursor appears in this blank, then type the number. In case of an error, use normal text-editing procedures. Enter values for X and dX, and possibly for Y and dY. (The TAB key moves the cursor through the blanks in the order: X, dX, Y, dY). Click on the button for the desired operation or function. The equation for the calculation appears in the central blank, and the values of Z and dZ appear in their respective blanks. There are buttons for transferring values from Z to a MEMory location, or to the blanks for X or Y; or from the MEMory to X or Y. top
EXP, LNe, LOG, SIN, http://web.mst.edu/~gbert/JAVA/uncertainty.HTML SQR, TAN. Variables are one or two characters, e.g. I, X, df, X7. Nested parentheses are useful, e.g. ((X+Y)*Z). No implicit multiplication, http://www.colby.edu/chemistry/PChem/scripts/error.html?ModPagespeed=off e.g. ((X+Y)Z) is not allowed. Variables are not case sensitive: x=X. Scientific notation: 1.23x10-3 is written as 1.23E-3. Enter your equation without an "=" sign. -----Example: ----- To evaluate K2, knowing K1, H, R, T2,and T1 in the equation: ln(K2/K1) = - H/R( 1/T2 - 1/T1) Solve for K2. You would then enter Equation: K1*EXP(-H/R*(1/T2-1/T1)) Equation: Result= Colby College Chemistry, T. W. Shattuck
