Does anybody know of any good software or workbooks on any of these

I recommend your students at least read D.B. Delury's "Computations with
approximate numbers", _The Mathematics Teacher_, Vol. LI, No. 7, Nov.,
1958; reprinted in _Precision Measurements and Calibration, Selected NBS
Papers on Statistical Concepts and Procedures_, Harry H. Ku, Editor, NBS
Special Publication 300 - Volume 1, February, 1969.
