1.

ends after a specified number of repetitions

2. can occur at any stage of the mathematical modelling process and can
contribute to all the other components of error
3. can be called as the zeros of the equation
4. The methods that exploit the fact that a function typically changes sign in the
vicinity of a root
5. They correspond to the number of certain digits plus one estimated digit
6. provides a means to predict a function value at one point in terms of the
function value and its derivatives at another point
7. refers to how closely a computed or measured value agrees with the true
value
8. defined as the difference between the present approximation and the
previous approximation
9. ends on the basis of a logical condition
10.provide a vehicle for you to reinforce your understanding of mathematics
11.can be broadly defined as a formulation or equation that expresses the
essential features of a physical system or process in mathematical terms
12.consists of a series of statements that can be run all at once
13.allows both fractions and very large numbers to be expressed on the
computer
14.relate to bias that can be ascribed to incomplete mathematical models
15.This structure allows you to execute a set of statements if a logical condition
is true
16.refers to the magnitude of the scatter
17.a characteristic that usually reflects the behavior or state of the system
18.A simple method for obtaining an estimate of the root of the equation f (x) =
0 is to make a plot of the function and observe where it crosses the x axis
19.merely a series of MATLAB commands that are saved on a file
20.refers to how closely individual computed or measured values agree with
each other
21.the line that is searched by the lookfor the line that is searched by the
lookfor
22.techniques by which mathematical problems are formulated so that they can
be solved with arithmetic and logical operations
23.states that any smooth function can be approximated as a polynomial
24.the fundamental unit where information is represented
25.defined as systematic deviation from the truth
26.usually dimensions
27.They are useful for retaining a series of commands that you want to execute
on more than one occasion
28.The most widely used of all root-locating formula
29.This structure allows you to execute a set of statements if a logical condition
is true and to execute a second set if the condition is false
30.Error caused by truncating or approximating a mathematical procedure
31.can be defined as the value of x that makes f(x)= 0
32.allow you to use canned software with insight
33.result when approximations are used to represent exact mathematical
procedures
34.external influences acting upon the system

35.Defined as the difference between the true value in a calculation and the
approximate value found using a numerical method etc
36.a number that is automatically assigned in the event that the user does not
pass it to a function
37.are M-files that start with the word function
38.are an efficient vehicle for learning to use computers
39.were used to implement numerical methods manually
40.reflective of the systems properties or composition
41.result when numbers having limited significant figures are used to represent
exact numbers
42.they can accept input arguments and return outputs
43.were used to characterize the behavior of systems
