Many great mathematicians of the past were preoccupied by numerical analysis, as is obvious from the names of important algorithms like Newton's method, Lagrange interpolation polynomial, Gaussian elimination, or Euler's method.
Banyak matematikawan besar dari masa lalu disibukkan oleh analisis numerik, seperti yang terlihat jelas dari nama algoritme penting seperti metode Newton, interpolasi polinomial Lagrange, eliminasi Gauss, atau metode Euler.
