Detailed Description

Calculate and represent resolution for a physical quantity.

This class calculate resolutions for some quantity.  In general we have
three parameters:
- <b>C</b> constant term.
- <b>R</b> resolution term.
- <b>N</b> noise term.

Given a physical quantitiy \form#28, we calculate the uncertainty
in quantity \form#31 as:

In addition, we also have an inverse flag. If the flag is set, we take the inverse of before doing the calculations. Therefore is regarded as actually .

We encode he resolution parameters into a string, from which these objects get initialized. The format is

[-]C[,R[,N]]

where parameters within the brackets are optional. If the leading minus is present, the inverse flag is turned on. Omitted parameters are set to 0.
