Hi,
So basically I want to work out the errors of the product of two quantity's with there own error. One would usually use the standard error equation derived from the Taylor expansion. However this assumes that the errors are small compared to the absolute value and in my case (as well as most astronomy) the errors are usually large therefore violating this assumption - this is not my idea but I would like to discuss it in my thesis and therefore require a reference to some paper discussing this. Does anyone know of such a paper?
Many Thanks gents, Shadow
