541 \[ (A \pm \mathcal{E} A) \cdot (B \pm \mathcal{E} B) = (A \cdot B) \pm (\mathcal{E} A + \mathcal{E} B) \]
542 \[ (A \pm \mathcal{E} A) \div (B \pm \mathcal{E} B) = (A \div B) \pm (\mathcal{E} A + \mathcal{E} B) \]
543 \[ (A \pm \mathcal{E} A)^n = (A^n \pm n \mathcal{E} A) \]
544 \[ c(A \pm \mathcal{E} A)=cA \pm \mathcal{E} A \]

546 Uncertainty of a measurement is $1 \over 2$ the smallest division
547
548 \textbf{Precision} - concordance of values \\
549 \textbf{Accuracy} - closeness to actual value\\
550 \textbf{Random errors} - unpredictable, reduced by more tests \\
551 \textbf{Systematic errors} - not reduced by more tests \\
552 \textbf{Uncertainty} - margin of potential error \\
553 \textbf{Error} - actual difference \\
554 \textbf{Hypothesis} - can be tested experimentally \\
555 \textbf{Model} - evidence-based but indirect representation
