Propagation of Errors

Educational video: How to propagate the uncertainties on measurements in the physics lab

[emlmm]

See, this person gets it! So many educational videos take like ten minutes to get to the actual content. Why can't all math and science videos be like this one!?

This video is so so helpful. I spent nearly an entire semester in physics confused on this topic where our lab instructor never fully explained the topic and now I understand in less than 10 minutes.

This video is old, but has saved me so many times in Physics. I appreciate it so much. Thank you.

cannot stress enough how useful this single video is. Fanstastic job, really

[victorcercasin]

I'm searching for a good class about this for months! This one is just perfect. I love you.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! THANK YOU FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION!

[guillermooanaya]

thank you so much, I was expected to just do this without any explanation given the formula on one of my lab reports. I wish I would've found this before. Thanks again!

[hirunimadhuwanthi]

This is exactly what i was looking for hours wasting my time in other related videos.direct to the point making it easy to understand for anyone with no much knowledge

[kevinbee]

Thank you so much! I've been looking for an explanation on errors for so long!

One of the most irritating classes I ever took was Analytical Chemistry, but learning why propagation of error was useful has stuck with me ever since, even though my career took me far away from chemistry.

Nicely entertaining video to help us grasp a difficult subject. I especially enjoyed the swallow and burp part :)
Keep up the good humor!

Can someone explain why we multiplied everything on 2:02

[michaelsamir]

I have watched this video 2 years ago and I didn't understand it then, cuse I didn't take calculus at that time.
I was trying to understand the way we dealt with errors in physics but they didn't explain it to us.
probably because it needs calculus and we didn't take that .
But now after 2 years I clearly understand it.
sometimes we have to wait to get what we want.

This is unbelievably clear! Thanks a lot!

[bthrun]

Well put. Thank you for taking the time to upload this video!

This has got to be the best video ever. Thank you sire. I will follow your teachings. My religion is now of GlacierFilm, LLC. Who else will join us in our quest to perfect uncertainty in this world? Now more than ever we must unite for the one true enemy, the enemy to the north. The long night is coming and we must be prepared. All hail the God of Light GlacierFilm, LLC.

Put your hand up if you literally got frightened for a second at 2.37 when you see that screaming voice. That came out of nowhere haha

[petresilegov]

This is very good. Thanks for sharing. Explained the calculus part very well

[SeanLynchXY]

Don't forget that meaningful uncertainty results must lie within the bounds of the significant figures of datum (measurements). For example if I am using a meter stick w/ cm and mm div to measure length is an uncertainty of 10E-5 m reasonable?

2:35 omg!! that scared me...I was listening to this in pitch darkness lol. Great content Thank you!!
