Overview of Numerical Analysis Numerical Analysis is a branch of mathematics that develops, analyzes, and applies algorithms for solving numerical problems. It involves approximating solutions to problems that may not be solvable by exact methods, often involving differential equations, integrals, and systems of equations. Key Concepts in Numerical Analysis
1. Error Analysis - Absolute Error : The difference between the exact value and the approximate value. Absolute Error = ∣x − x̃∣ - Relative Error : The absolute error divided by the exact value. Relative Error = |𝑥 − x̃| |𝑥| - Round-off Error : Errors that occur because of the limitations of representing numbers in a computer. - Truncation Error : Errors that result from approximating a mathematical procedure (e.g., using a finite number of terms of a series). 2. Solutions of Nonlinear Equations - Bisection Method : A root-finding method that repeatedly divides an interval in half and selects the subinterval in which the root lies. - Newton's Method : A root-finding method that uses function values and derivatives to approximate the root.

5. Interpolation and Polynomial Approximation - Lagrange Interpolation : A method for constructing a polynomial that passes through a given set of points.
