Error analysis
No physical quantity can be measured with perfect certainty: any measurement has errors. This means that if we measure some quantity and, then, repeat the measurement, we will almost certainly measure a different value the second time. We can't know know the "true" value of a physical quantity. Error analysis is the study of uncertainties in physical measurements.
