%% Part IB
% An important aspect of the application of mathematics to problems in the
% real world is the ability to compute answers as accurately as possible
% subject to the errors inherent in the data presented and the limits on
% the accuracy of calculation. Numerical analysis is the branch of
% mathematics studying such computations.
%%
% The course commences with approximation theory, focussing on the
% approximation of functions and data by polynomials, continues with the
% numerical solution of ordinary differential equations and concludes with
% the solution of linear algebraic systems. Although computational
% algorithms form a central part of the course, so do mathematical theories
% underlying them and investigating their behaviour: computation and
% approximation at their best should be done with proper mathematical
% justifcation.
