Calculator with uncertainties

Project description

u-calc: A calculator with uncertainties

Tired of doing physics calculations by hand or with spreadsheets? Look no further, because this python module is here to make these calculations as easy as ever!

HOW TO

A simple use case: adding two numbers with uncertainties.

Let's say x = (23.00 +- 0.01) and y = (12.02 +- 0.03).

Open up the python interpreter and:

>>> from u_calc.measurement import Measurement as Msm
>>> x = Msm(23.00, 0.01)
>>> y = Msm(12.02, 0.03)
>>> print(x+y)
35.020 \pm 0.032

In your python files, you can just import this module just like any other.

Installation

To install it, you only need pip. Example for v0.0.1:

$ pip install u-calc==0.0.1

If you want to install the latest version from this repo, you need to:

  • git clone this repository(using http or ssh)
  • Make sure you're in the master branch
  • Run pip install -e . in the repository root(likely to be a directory called u_calc/) to create a symlink
  • You're finished!:smile:

Note: sometimes, you might have to use python3 -m pip instead of just pip. You can read about this here
