Numerical methods are mathematical techniques used for solving quantitative problems through numerical approximations rather than exact analytical solutions. These methods are particularly useful for tackling complex problems that cannot be solved easily with traditional analytical methods. Numerical methods are widely employed in various fields, including engineering, physics, finance, and computer science. Key features of numerical methods include: 1. **Approximation**: They provide approximate solutions to problems that may not have a closed-form analytical solution.
