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.
