If you care about errors then you should be evaluating the symbolic 
expressions with interval arithmetic. Your proposal is just to do interval 
arithmetic and then take the upper/lower bound as desired. That would be 
correct, but there should also be a way to evaluate symbolic expressions 
*quickly* without doing interval arithmetic.
