  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    In the second line, the number one is added to the fraction, and again Excel displays only 15 figures. In the third line, one is subtracted from the sum using Excel. Because the sum has only eleven 1s after the decimal, the true difference when ‘1’ is subtracted is three 0s followed by a string of eleven 1s. However, the difference reported ...

  3. One-step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-step_method

    The one-step methods can be roughly divided into two groups: the explicit methods, which calculate the new approximation directly from the old one, and the implicit methods, which require an equation to be solved. The latter are also suitable for so-called stiff initial value problems.

  4. Microsoft Math Solver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Math_Solver

    Microsoft Math contains features that are designed to assist in solving mathematics, science, and tech-related problems, as well as to educate the user. The application features such tools as a graphing calculator and a unit converter. It also includes a triangle solver and an equation solver that provides step-by-step solutions to each problem.

  5. Fixed-point iteration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_iteration

    The iteration capability in Excel can be used to find solutions to the Colebrook equation to an accuracy of 15 significant figures. [3] [4] Some of the "successive approximation" schemes used in dynamic programming to solve Bellman's functional equation are based on fixed-point iterations in the space of the return function. [5] [6]

    Riemann solver — a solver for Riemann problems (a conservation law with piecewise constant data) Properties of discretization schemes — finite volume methods can be conservative, bounded, etc. Discrete element method — a method in which the elements can move freely relative to each other

  7. Five-point stencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-point_stencil

    An illustration of the five-point stencil in one and two dimensions (top, and bottom, respectively). In numerical analysis, given a square grid in one or two dimensions, the five-point stencil of a point in the grid is a stencil made up of the point itself together with its four "neighbors".

  8. Iterative method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_method

    In computational mathematics, an iterative method is a mathematical procedure that uses an initial value to generate a sequence of improving approximate solutions for a class of problems, in which the i-th approximation (called an "iterate") is derived from the previous ones.

  9. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    This x-intercept will typically be a better approximation to the original function's root than the first guess, and the method can be iterated. x n+1 is a better approximation than x n for the root x of the function f (blue curve) If the tangent line to the curve f(x) at x = x n intercepts the x-axis at x n+1 then the slope is
