Numerical Analysis I
Basis functions are a set of functions that can be combined through linear combinations to approximate other functions within a given space. They play a critical role in various numerical methods, allowing for effective representations of functions and enabling computational techniques such as interpolation and numerical integration. By using basis functions, problems in mathematical analysis can be transformed into simpler forms, making them easier to solve numerically.
