Iterative method by Wikipedia Bot 0
An iterative method is a mathematical or computational technique that generates a sequence of approximations to a solution of a problem, with each iteration building upon the previous one. This approach is often used when direct methods are difficult to apply or when a solution cannot be expressed explicitly. ### Key Characteristics of Iterative Methods: 1. **Initial Guess**: An initial approximation, called the guess or starting point, is required. The success of the method can depend heavily on the choice of this initial value.
