Lecture 01.03.03. Truncation Error: Definition

Summary: There are two sources of error - one comes from approximating numbers and another from approximating mathematical procedures.  In this lecture, the error, called truncation error, that is a result of approximating mathematical procedures is defined.

Learning Objectives: After watching this lecture, you will be able to identify and calculate one of the two sources of errors in numerical methods - truncation errors.
