ScientificErrorAnalysis: The Latest Package Available from MaplePrimes

ScientificErrorAnalysis is a new package of routines for representing and constructing numerical quantities that have a value and an associated error. These quantities can then be used to propagate errors through a computation. The associated error can be specified in absolute form, relative form or units in the least digit form. Once the quantity structure has been constructed, various first-order calculations of error analysis can be performed, including the correlation between two quantities, the variance of a quantity, or the covariance between two quantities. Predefined rounding rules are used when applying rules or combining errors.

However, this flexible package provides the ability to define and add your own rules to be applied to the quantity. The ScientificErrorAnalysis package is fully compatible with the ScientificConstants package. Therefore, calculating the errors of derived physical constants can be performed easily. Scientific Error Analysis is the latest package available for download from the MaplePrimes™ website at http://www.adeptscience.com/go?pg=O77.
