This document provides an introduction to numerical analysis methods. It discusses how numerical methods are used to approximate solutions to mathematical problems rather than finding exact solutions. The first numerical method mentioned is the Babylonian approximation. It then lists reasons why numerical methods are needed, such as when no analytical solution exists or is difficult to obtain. Examples of applications of numerical methods include determining profits and losses in a company, multidimensional root finding, and solving practical engineering problems. Specific applications discussed are estimating ocean currents and modeling airplanes. The document concludes with recommendations for reference books on numerical analysis.

Numerical methods is an area of study in mathematics that
discusses the solutions to various mathematical problems involving and find root through approximations rather than exact solution
The first numerical analysis is Babylonian approximation.
Needs of Numerical Method No analytical solution exists An analytical solution is difficult to obtain or not practical Finding roots solving equations quadratic equation 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0 is easy The −𝑏± 𝑏2 −4𝑎𝑐 quadratic formula 𝑥 = provides a quick answer to all 2𝑎 quadratic equations. However, no exact general solution (formula) exists for equations with exponent greater than 4. Even if “exact” procedures existed, we are stuck with the problem that a computer can only represent a finite number of values… thus, we cannot “validate” our answer because it will not come out exactly However we can say how accurate our solution is as compared to the “exact” solution
Transcendental equations: solution of equation involving
Transcendental functions (sin, cos log, exp) becomes more complex. These equations cannot be reduced to solution of a polynomial. Many models can not be solved analytically or the analytic solution is too costly to be practical. All models can be solved computationally and the result may not be the exact answer but it can be useful. Solution of Nonlinear Equations Some simple equations can be solved analytically: x2 4x 3 0 4 4 2 4(1)(3) Analytic solution roots 2(1) x 1 and x 3
Many other equations have no analytical solution:
x 2 x 5 0 9 2 x No analytic solution xe Applications of Numerical Method in Real life
