    Numerical methods involve approximating solutions to mathematical problems through arithmetic operations as exact solutions often involve infinite decimal places, resulting in certain errors. There are three main types of errors discussed: round-off errors from discarding digits, truncation errors from approximating infinite sums, and rounding errors from chopping off digits and rounding up or down. The document also introduces how to analyze errors through absolute and relative error calculations.

    INTRODUCTION TO NUMERICAL METHOD AND ERROR

    NUMERICAL METHODS
    Techniques which mathematical problems are formulated solved using arithmetic operations Involve large number of tedious arithmetic calculation

    To obtain approximate solutions


    Most of the problems involve decimal places Consist of certain ERROR

    DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS, FSTPi

    ERROR
    Round-off error 0.1234567891011121314 Discard??

    Truncation error
    Error involved in using a truncated summation to approximate The sum of infinite series

    Rounding-off
    Simply chop off Add 1 when number after 5 and simply chop off when 5

    Example: Round-off error

    ERROR ANALYSIS
    Absolute error |exact (true value) - approximate| Relative error |exact (true value) - approximate| |exact|

    Example: Error analysis
