Techniques to get numerical approximations to numeric mathematical problems.
The entire field comes down to estimating the true values with a known error bound, and creating algorithms that make those error bounds asymptotically smaller.
Not the most beautiful field of pure mathematics, but fundamentally useful since we can't solve almost any useful equation without computers!
The solution visualizations can also provide valuable intuition however.
Important numerical analysis problems include solving:
Numerical analysis is a branch of mathematics that focuses on developing and analyzing numerical methods for solving mathematical problems that cannot be easily solved analytically. This field encompasses various techniques for approximating solutions to problems in areas such as algebra, calculus, differential equations, and optimization. Key aspects of numerical analysis include: 1. **Algorithm Development**: Creating algorithms to obtain numerical solutions to problems. This can involve iterative methods, interpolation, or numerical integration.
