Numerical Analysis/Intro

This topic page is for organising the development of Numerical analysis content on Wikiversity.

If you are knowledgeable in any area Numerical analysis, feel free to improve, we would greatly appreciate your contributions.

Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms that use numerical approximation (as opposed to general symbolic manipulations) for the problems of continuous mathematics (as distinguished from discrete mathematics).

As a topic of study, it has a large overlap with Numerical Algorithms and Scientific Computing.
