How does the Around command at zero work?
I enter:
Around[0,0.5]^2
and I get 0.
This is a bit strange. Around[0,0.5] is supposed to represent numbers between -0.5 and 0.5. So by my estimates the square ...

Error plotting in 2D
I have some data: along Y axis: 5.86*10^(-8),2.56*10^(-8),3.21*10^(-8) with error 0.58, 0.25 and 0.32 respectively.
along X axis: there are some range corresponding each value of Y axis such as:
0.1-...

error bar plotting with some range
In the following pic I want to show the error bar plotting with some given data: Y axis: 5.86*10^(-8) with error .58*10^(-8) and X axis: 0.1 to 2 (that means there is a range), 2.56*10^(-8) with error ...

Propagate error through `FindFit`
I have several sampled points $(x_i, y_i)$ with mutually independent error on the y coordinate $\sigma_{y_i}$. For simplicity, I'm assuming no error in the x coordinates ($\sigma_{x_i} \ll \sigma_{...
