### 94.1 Introduction to wrstcse

`wrstcse` is a naive go at interval arithmetics is powerful enough to perform worst case calculations that appear in engineering by applying all combinations of tolerances to all parameters.

This approach isn’t guaranteed to find the exact combination of parameters that results in the worst-case. But it avoids the problems that make a true interval arithmetics affected by the halting problem as an equation can have an infinite number of local minima and maxima and it might be impossible to algorithmically determine which one is the global one.

Tolerances are applied to parameters by providing the parameter with a tol[n] that wrstcase will vary between -1 and 1. Using the same n for two parameters will make both parameters tolerate in the same way.
