What Is Numerical Analysis?

Показать описание
Let’s talk about what is numerical analysis? Numerical analysis is a branch of math that focuses on studying and developing numerical methods. Well that still might be confusing if you’re new to the topic, so let’s break these concepts down a bit further. Let’s begin with what a numerical method is. Numerical methods at their core are just another mathematical tool we are going to have to solve certain problems. But, how do that do that? Well put simply, they allow us to accept an approximate answer to a math problem rather than needing to find the exact solution. Previously in your math classes you have been solving problems analytically. Meaning we take some steps (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) to achieve the exact solution, however, sometimes finding the solution to a math problem analytically is impossible or just will take us too long.

This video is part of our Numerical Methods course. Numerical methods is about solving math problems through approximating the solution of problems that would be difficult or impossible to solve analytically. In this playlist we will cover topics such as solving systems of linear equations, solving systems of non-linear equations, numerical integration, numerical derivatives, etc..

O MyGod. This is just the intro video, I am yet to waych the actual lessons. But this one feels like just what I need now. Thank you!

I always thought Numerical Analysis should have come after algebra and a programming course, before Calculus and Differential Analysis. It was a great course and has helped me immeasurably as a scientist.

Great video! I need to learn some numerical analysis to solve the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations. I hope the methods needed are covered later on.
