Instrumentation: Analyzing Chemical Data with Computers: Errors and Pitfalls.

Shukla, Shyam S.; Rusling, James F.

Analytical Chemistry, v56 n12 p1347A-48A,1350A,1354A,1360A,1363A-64A,1368A Oct 1984

Discusses how computational errors arise in analysis of data and how they can be minimized. Shows that all computations are subject to roundoff/truncation errors and how such errors are propagated and influence the stability and condition of a reaction. Applications to procedures used in analytical chemistry are addressed. (JN)
