Page 288 - E, represent the errors which result from these substitutions. "We assume that the errors of the results are proportional to the errors of the assumed numbers. This supposition is not entirely correct ; but if we employ numbers near to the true values, the error of this supposition is generally not very great, and the error becomes less and less the further we carry the approximation. We have then E:E'::xr:xr'. ~Whence, Art. 305, EE...
