Numerical Methods:
Algorithm that are used to obtain numerical solutions of a
mathematical problem.
Practical:
Can be computed in a reasonable amount of time.
Accurate:
Good approximate to the true value.
Information about the approximation error.
Basic Concepts in Numerical Methods
All numerical methods involve approximations due to either limits in the algorithm
or physical limits in the computer hardware.
Errors associated with measurements or calculations can be characterized with
reference to Accuracy and Precision.
Accuracy refers to how closely a computed or measured value agree with the true value.
Precision refers to how close computed or measured values agree with each other after
repeated sampling.
