Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is absolute error?

  • A. Difference between computed value and exact value
  • B. Difference between two approximate values
  • C. Error in algorithm design

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on how the term 'absolute' relates to the nature of the error.

Question 2

True or False: A well-conditioned problem is one where small changes in input lead to large changes in output.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the sensitivity in relation to small input changes.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given an exact solution of 15.7 and a computed solution of 15.3, calculate both absolute and relative errors. Discuss their significance in a practical context.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Apply your formulas and interpret your results in terms of real-world applications.

Question 2

Discuss a scenario in which an algorithm may become unstable when solving an ill-conditioned problem. What steps can be taken to secure stability?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think critically about how instability can arise and possible remedies.
