Propagation of Error Calculator

Welcome to the Propagation of Error Calculator! This web application allows you to automatically calculate the Propagation of Error (or Propagation of Uncertainty) for any given expression. It supports various syntaxes including Excel, Python, and LaTeX, making it a versatile tool for your data analysis and scientific needs.

Live Website

Try out the application live at Propagation of Error Calculator.

1. Simply input your math expression, it automatically recognizes all the variables!

2. Get the result in your preferred format!

Features

• Expression Input: Enter mathematical expressions using Excel or Python syntax.
• Variable Management: Define aliases and errors for your variables.
• Error Propagation: Choose formatting options (Python, Excel, or LaTeX) and error types (Absolute or Quadratic) to calculate the error propagation.
• Copy Results: Easily copy the results into your Excel, Python, or LaTeX projects.
• User-Friendly Interface: Clean and intuitive design for a seamless user experience.
