Numerical Analysis

Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms that use numerical approximation (as opposed to symbolic manipulations) for the problems of mathematical analysis. It’s essentially about finding approximate solutions to mathematical problems using numerical methods. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Approximation: Numerical analysis relies on approximating solutions, not finding exact answers. Algorithms: It uses specific step-by-step … Read more
