    The document contains notes from an introduction to numerical methods class. It shows examples of using the bisection method to find the solution to an equation within a margin of error. It also mentions that while analysis does not always provide an answer, numerical methods can always provide approximate solutions. Additionally, it discusses precision in numerical representations and how the base of a number system affects the precision.

    We keep doing this and nding values that get us closer


    to
    The soluon
    We stop once we get within an acceptable margin of error

    Somemes analysis does not give us an answer,


    But numerical methods will always give us approximate soluons

    Precision
    How many digits do we need?
    Base aects precision
    25 in decimal - 2x10 + 5
    300 in decimal- 3*100 + 0*10
    + 0*1
    Base 4 gives digits 0,1,2,3
