Analysis
Numerical analysis is not only the design of numerical methods, but also their analysis. Three central concepts in this analysis are:
- convergence: whether the method approximates the solution,
- order: how well it approximates the solution, and
- stability: whether errors are damped out.

Famous quotes containing the word analysis:
“A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
