More concepts to explore
Floating-point arithmetic
Finite-precision arithmetic introduces rounding and has bounded representable ranges.
Numerical stability
A stable algorithm controls amplification of rounding and data errors relative to the problem.
Bisection method
Continuity and opposite endpoint signs allow repeated halving to bracket a root.
Euler method
Euler's method advances an ODE solution using its current derivative and a step size.
Finite differences
Differences of nearby samples approximate derivatives, balancing truncation and roundoff errors.
