Errors And Their Computation In Numerical Method

Vishal V. Mehtre Nikhil Sundram

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Electrical Engineering

Abstract

The objective of this review paper is to review the concept of errors and their computation including different types of errors such as absolute error, relative error, random error, percentage error, etc. Errors play an important role in measurements or any calculations. Any measurement that we make is just an approximation, 100% accuracy is not possible. if we measure the same thing two times, there will be some variation between their values and this variation introduces an unwanted but unavoidable uncertainty in our measurements. so, here we discuss a new approach of error calculation & how to overcome from drawback of errors.

Keywords

Systematic error, gross error, random error, absolute error, relative error, percentage error etc.
