Numerical Analysis I
Iterative methods are computational techniques used to find approximate solutions to mathematical problems by generating a sequence of improving estimates. These methods are particularly useful for solving equations and optimization problems where direct solutions may be difficult or impossible to obtain. They often involve repeated calculations that build on previous approximations, allowing for convergence towards an accurate solution while managing the sources of error inherent in numerical analysis.
congrats on reading the definition of iterative methods. now let's actually learn it.
