   ocr: (solution to problem 2. continued.) scienttic theones and technological development both require accurate measuremens. Since every measurement is an approxmation, an important aspect of scienttic and technucal work is the analysis of experimental eror and the control of the propagation of emor when computations ae made using measured quantities. The use of computers to solve complex problems by: numencal methods has made emor analysis even more important because compurers approxmmate real numbers using finite lecmmals. Moreover, computers represent numbers intemally using a: floating point bin ...
