Numerical Analysis I
Grid spacing refers to the distance between adjacent points in a numerical grid used for approximating solutions to mathematical problems, particularly in the context of differential equations. It plays a crucial role in determining the accuracy and convergence of numerical methods by influencing how finely a problem is discretized. Smaller grid spacing can lead to more accurate results but increases computational cost, while larger grid spacing can simplify calculations but may sacrifice accuracy.
congrats on reading the definition of grid spacing. now let's actually learn it.
