Using the notation we were taught, 0.0010 plus or minus 0.0001, for example, would be:
(1.0 +/- 0.1)*10^{-3}s
Is there a way to print this in LaTeX using the siunitx package?

1The package siunitx has a good manual that gives you this and also further examples of possible applications. Read first the manual before asking. All latex manuals can be found at www.ctan.orgstrpeter– strpeter2018-06-08 08:28:08 +00:00Commented Jun 8, 2018 at 8:28

2@strpeter Almost all the questions asked here have an answer that can be found in the manual of a package. Should we stop asking questions?AndréC– AndréC2019-11-12 06:10:31 +00:00Commented Nov 12, 2019 at 6:10

\documentclass[a4paper]{memoir}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}
%(1.0 +/- 0.1)*10^-3s
\[
\SI[separate-uncertainty = true]{1.0(1)e-3}{\second}
\]
\end{document}
See the manual for the various methods of inputting the uncertainty.
Here is the solution if you want to set this plus-minus notation document-wide:
\documentclass[a4paper]{memoir}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\sisetup{separate-uncertainty=true}
\begin{document}
\SI{1.0(1)e-3}{\second}
\end{document}

4Putting it as an optional argument when loading the package works as well:
