Lecture 01.03.06 Truncation Error: Example: Differentiation

Summary: There are two sources of error - one comes from approximating numbers and another from approximating mathematical procedures.  In this lecture, an example of truncation error is given using numerical differentiation.

Learning Objectives: After watching this lecture, you will be able to identify and calculate truncation error in a derivative using a numerical method.
