Iterative methods are mathematical techniques used to find solutions to problems by progressively refining an initial guess through a sequence of approximations. These methods are commonly employed in numerical analysis for solving equations, optimization problems, and in algorithms for various computational tasks. ### Key Features of Iterative Methods: 1. **Starting Point**: An initial guess is required to begin the iteration process. 2. **Iteration Process**: The method involves repeating a specific procedure or formula to generate a sequence of approximate solutions.
