Summary: "Writing a research monograph on a 'hot topic' such as 'uncertainty propagation' is a somewhat daunting undertaking. Nontheless, we decided to collect our own views, supported by our own research efforts over the past 12-15 years on a number of aspects of this topic and summarize these for the possible enlightenment it might provide (for us, our students and others). The research results discussed below are thus necessarily filled with a preponderance of references to our own research reports and papers. In numerous of the references below (given at the conclusion of each chapter), we refer
