Various Computational Techniques | Types of Numerical Methods

A numerical method is a complete and definite set of procedures for the solution of a problem, together with computable error estimates. Various computational techniques are used to find the solution of a problem. The study and implementation of such methods is the field of numerical analysis or numerical methods. In this article different methods

Number Representation, Significant Digits, Precision, Accuracy and Errors

Numerical calculations obviously involve the operation (i.e., addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.) of numbers. Numbers can be integers (e.g., 5,10, -16 etc.), fractions (e.g., -5/6, etc.), or an infinite string of digits (e.g., π=3.1415926535…). In numerical analysis we deal with numerical values and calculations. There are several concepts that must be considered Number representation Significant digits

Introduction to Numerical Methods

In introduction to numerical methods, the definition, need and applications of Numerical methods are explained. The word “Numerical Method” is synonymous to “Numerical Analysis”, “Computational Methods”. What is Numerical Method? In reality “Solving a math problem” generally involves finding an answer rather than exact answer. Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms that use numerical approximation for the problems of mathematical analysis. A
