Dear all,
I have an expression (image attached) generated by some calculations done within Maxima, and I've been asked to define the uncertainty of the output based on the uncertainty of the input values.
[cid:image001.png at 01CEC44B.0E66C310]
The three parameters with uncertainty are Heave, Pitch and Roll, since they are "real" measurements from a sensor. Has anyone had experience of using maxima to calculate error propagation?
I'm happy to dig up my old notes and derive the uncertainty of each part of the expression, and hence derive the resultant uncertainty in the numerical output, but it's a bit of a chore if there's a straightforward way to do the calculations within Maxima.
Does anyone have any wisdom to share?
Hopeful thanks in advance,
John Marshall
