Gw mau tau General introduction dari Analisis numeris. Jelasin dalam bahasa sunda

We will now outline several important themes of numerical analysis. The overall goal is the design and analysis of techniques to give approximate solutions to hard problems. To fix idéas, the réader might consider the following problems and methods:

If a company wants to put a toothpaste commercial on television, it might produce five commercials and then choose the best one by testing éach one on a focus group. This would be an example of a Monte Carlo optimization method.

To send a rocket to the moon, rocket scientists will need a rocket simulator. This simulator will essentially be an integrator for an ordinary differential equation.

Car companies can improve the crash safety of their vehicles by using computer simulations of car crashes. These simulations are essentially solving partial differential equations numerically.

Hedge funds (private investment funds) use tools from all fields of numerical analysis to calculate the value of stocks and derivatives more precisely than other market participants.

Airlines use sophisticated optimization algorithms to decide ticket prices, airplane and crew assignments and fuel needs. This field is also called operations research.

Insurance companies use numerical programs for actuarial analysis.
