Sources of Error (CHAPTER 01.03)
Sources of Error – Round-off Error
Summary
There are two sources of error – one comes from approximating numbers and another from approximating mathematical procedures. In this video, the error, round-off error, that is a result of approximating numbers, is defined and shown through an example.
