Computational Error

refers to the discrepancy between the computed value and the true value of a quantity.

2
New cards

Round Off Error

Arises from representing real numbers with finite precision.

3
New cards

Truncation Error

Occurs when approximating infinite processes with finite steps.

4
New cards

Symbolic Error

Arises from approximating exact mathematical expressions by symbolic computation methods.

5
New cards

Round Off Error

Addition/Subtraction of numbers with different precision.

6
New cards

Truncation Error

Approximating integrals using numerical methods such as the Trapezoidal Rule or Simpson's Rule.

7
New cards

Symbolic Computation Error

arise from the inherent limitations of algorithms used to perform symbolic computations.

8
