Welcome to upy’s documentation!

Compiled August 21, 2010

Rationale

upy is a package for calculating error propagation in the programming language Python. It is intended to make calculations with measurement uncertainties easy but correct. For the needed derivative information, automatic differentiation (AD) is used. (AD is also known under the name algorithmic differentiation.)

upy is based on numpy, and can be used to store multidimensional arrays with uncertainty. For details, see The upy uncertain ndarray: class undarray.

There is also a upy Webcast.
