Numbers with error propagation and scientific rounding


Development/Libraries/Perl

This class is a container class for numbers with a number of associated symmetric and asymmetric errors. It overloads practically all common arithmetic operations and trigonometric functions to propagate the errors. It can do proper scientific rounding (as explained in more detail below in the documentation of the 'significant_digit()' method).

You can use Math::BigFloat objects as the internal representation of numbers in order to support arbitrary precision calculations.

Errors are propagated using Gaussian error propagation.

With a notable exception, the test suite covers way over ninety percent of the code. The remaining holes are mostly difficult-to-test corner cases and sanity tests. The comparison routines are the exception for which there will be more extensive tests in a future release.
