Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a dataset with a large number of noisy pointsโ€”how would you prioritize handling truncation vs. round-off errors?

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Think about how much each error could skew your results based on the dataset.

Question 2

Given a dataset where step size is considerably small, discuss how you might analyze and present your derivative calculations while accounting for errors.

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Consider how confidence in results is influenced by data quality and calculation method.
