For this lab we have used differential error analysis for finding the propagation of
error. Each term in the differential error calculation gives an indication of how
each variable contributes to the over all error of the calculated value. For the
following questions calculate the values for each term in the error calculation and
determine which uncertainty makes the largest contribution to the over all
uncertainty.

As Christians we have a desire to be pleasing to Christ (II Cor. 5:9). What lesson
about being pleasing to Christ can we gain by considering the error analysis
procedure in questions 1 and 2?
In the error analysis, we can see that all aspects of the lab are important to be able
to get the most accurate results. In our walk with Christ, we need to be able to live
in him in all areas of our life. If one aspect is off, we need to be able to adjust to
get our life back together.
