Why Studying Numerical Methods? (2/2)• Numerical methods are an efficient vehicle for learning touse computers and can also illustrate the power andlimitations of computers– We should learn to acknowledge and control the errors ofapproximation that are part and parcel of large-scale numericalmethods• Numerical methods provide a vehicle for you to reinforceyour understanding of mathematics– One function of numerical methods is to reduce highermathematics to basic arithmetic operations. In so doing, we canenhance our understanding and insight of complicated problemsNM – Berlin Chen 6
