Numerical Methods

Numerical Methods: Algorithms that are used to obtain numerical

solutions of a mathematical problem.

Why do we need them? 1. No analytical solution exists,

2. An analytical solution is difficult to obtain or not practical.


What do we need?

Basic Needs in the Numerical Methods: Practical: Can be computed in a reasonable amount of time. Accurate:

Good approximate to the true value, Information about the approximation error

(Bounds, error order,… ).

Curve Fitting Given a set of data:

Select a curve that best fits the data. One choice is to find the curve so that the sum of the square of the error is minimized.

system may have an infinite expansion in another numbering system:

Mantissa: 3 bits Exponent: 2 bits Sign: 1 bit

Remarks

Numbers that can be exactly represented are called machine numbers.

Difference between machine numbers is not uniform

Sum of machine numbers is not necessarily a machine number:

0.25 + .3125 = 0.5625 (not a machine number)


Significant Digits

Significant digits are those digits that can be used with confidence.


48.9

Significant Digits - Example


Accuracy and Precision

Accuracy is related to the closeness to the true value.

Precision is related to the closeness to other

estimated values.



Rounding and Chopping

Rounding: Replace the number by the nearest machine number.

Chopping: Throw all extra digits.


Rounding and Chopping - Example


Can be computed if the true value is known:

Notation


Summary Number Representation

Numbers that have a finite expansion in one numbering system may have an infinite expansion in another numbering system.

Normalized Floating Point Representation Efficient in representing very small or very large numbers, Difference between machine numbers is not uniform, Representation error depends on the number of bits used in

the mantissa.

Convergence of Taylor Series(Observations, Example 1)

The Taylor series converges fast (few terms are needed) when x is near the point of expansion. If |x-c| is large then more terms are needed to get a good approximation.

Can we apply Taylor series for x>1??

How many terms are needed to get a good approximation???
