The objective of numerical analysis is to solve complex numerical problems using only the simple operations of arithmetic, to develop and evaluate methods for computing numerical results from given data. The methods of computation are called algorithms.

Our efforts will be focused on the search for algorithms. For some problems, no satisfactory algorithm has yet been found, while for others there are several and we must choose among them. There are various reasons for choosing one algorithm over another, two obvious criteria being speed an accuracy. Speed is clearly an advantage, though for problems of modest size this advantage is almost eliminated by the power of the computer. For large scale problems speed is still a major factor, and a slow algorithm may have to be rejected as impractical. However, other things being equal, the faster method surely gets the nod.

if you've found any dead links (as in links which no longer go to the place they should be going to)then tell me and i'll fix it and then let you know when I have, so you can find what you wanted again.
