Math & Science ⇒ siunitx | Typesetting Uncertainties

[svend_tveskaeg]

Hi all.

Consider the following MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}

\newcommand{\cm}{\,\textup{cm}}

\begin{document}

\begin{align}
  O &= 8 \cdot (50 \pm 0{,}5)\cm = (400 \pm 4{,}0)\cm,\\
  h &= (3 \cdot 178 + 6 \pm 10)\cm = (540 \pm 10)\cm.
\end{align}

\end{document}

How do I produce the same output using the sinuitx package? I have looked at page 45 in the documentation, but I cannot figure out how to do it.

Thank you in advance!

You should strongly learn how to read manuals.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{siunitx}

\sisetup{
  separate-uncertainty=true
}

\begin{document}
  \begin{align}
    O &= 8 \cdot \SI{50,0(5)}{\cm} = \SI{400(4)}{\cm},\\
    h &= 3 \cdot \SI{178}{\cm} + \SI{6(10)}{\cm}= \SI{540(10)}{\cm}
  \end{align}
\end{document}

Thank you.

I thought that I it was possible to typeset the last equation using a single \SI.

The way you tried to typeset this expression makes no sense.
