Iterative method

In computational mathematics, an iterative method is a mathematical procedure that uses an initial value to generate a sequence of improving approximate solutions for a class of problems, in which the n-th approximation is derived from the previous ones. A specific implementation of an iterative method, including the termination criteria, is an algorithm of the iterative method. An iterative method is called convergent if the corresponding sequence converges for given initial approximations. A mathematically rigorous convergence analysis of an iterative method is usually performed; however, heuristic-based iterative methods are also common. In contrast, direct methods attempt to solve the problem by a finite sequence of operations. In the absence of rounding errors, direct methods would deliver an exact solution (for example, solving a linear system of equations by Gaussian elimination). Iterative methods are often the only choice for nonlinear equations. However, iterative methods are often useful even for linear problems involving many variables (sometimes on the order of millions), where direct methods would be prohibitively expensive (and in some cases impossible) even with the best available computing power.

B01 An introduction to numerical methods

Most differential equations cannot be solved by the analytical techniques that we have learned up until now. I these cases, we can approximate a solution by a set of points, by using a variety of numerical methods. The first of these is Euler's method.

Python Tutorial: Iterators and Iterables - What Are They and How Do They Work?

In this Python Programming Tutorial, we will be learning about iterators and iterables. There is a lot of confusion around these terms and exactly what they mean. We're also going to learn how to make an object ourselves that is both an iterable and an iterator. This video isn't only about
