Numerical Analysis II
Linearization is the process of approximating a nonlinear function by a linear function at a given point. This technique helps simplify complex differential equations, making them easier to analyze and solve, especially when dealing with stiff differential equations, where rapid changes can occur in some components but not others. Linearization provides insight into the system's behavior near an equilibrium point, allowing for a more manageable representation of the underlying dynamics.
congrats on reading the definition of Linearization. now let's actually learn it.
