Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms for the problems of continuous mathematics (as distinguished from discrete mathematics). Some of the problems it deals with arise directly from the study of calculus; other areas of interest are real variable or complex variable questions, numerical linear algebra over the real or complex fields, the solution of differential equations, and other related problems arising in the physical sciences and engineering.
General introduction
Many problems in continuous mathematics do not possess a closed-form solution. Examples are finding the integral of exp(−x2) (see error function) and solving a general polynomial equation of degree five or higher (see Abel-Ruffini theorem). In these situations, one has two options left: either one tries to find an approximate solution using asymptotic analysis or one seeks a numerical solution. The latter choice describes the field of numerical analysis.
