Excerpt from Principles of Approximate Computations
1. It is frequently necessary to perform arithmetical operations upon quantities whose numerical values cannot be taken with absolute accuracy, either because these values are incommensurable with unity or because they are the results of measurements made in Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, etc., with instruments capable of giving only a limited degree of precision. When the ordinary rules of arithmetic are applied to a computation involving such approximate quantities the operation is often very long and tedious, and when it is finished the operator may be in doubt as to the degree of accuracy of his final result; that is, as to the amount of error to which this result is liable from the errors of the quantities employed. The object of the following pages is to present some simple rules for conducting computations involving approximate quantities, in such a manner as to require the fewest figures and to show at once the degree of accuracy of the result.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a simple set of rules for carrying out arithmetic operations on approximate quantities in a way that shows at once the accuracy of the results. While ordinary rules of arithmetic can give very long, tedious, and error prone calculations involving such quantities, the author presents a clear, concise, and practical method to avoid these issues. The techniques in this book can be applied to any computation involving approximate quantities, making it invaluable to those working in fields where precise measurement is impossible, such as astronomy, engineering, and chemistry. The author also includes multiple solved examples to help the reader apply the rules to a variety of problems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330224014_0
