numerical analysis: The theory underlying the development of numerical processes. In Lanczos's terms, numerical analysis is distinguished from parexic analysis which has as its aim the development of approximate formulas. In more common usage it would include parexic analysis. 6, record 2, English, - numerical%20analysis

analyse ou calcul numérique : Méthodes et techniques pratiques (calcul numérique), généralement programmables sur ordinateur, qui permettent la résolution approchée de problèmes d'origines diverses et s'exprimant, par exemple, par la résolution d'équations différentielles ou le calcul d'intégrales. On cherche un résultat non pas théorique, mais chiffré, accompagné d'une estimation de la précision. 4, record 2, French, - analyse%20num%C3%A9rique

L'analyse mathématique s'attache à prouver des théorèmes d'existence (convergence de séries ou d'intégrales, équations numériques, fonctionnelles, différentielles, aux dérivés partielles). En analyse numérique, on s'attache à construire des algorithmes permettant d'obtenir des valeurs approchées des objets considérés, et de comparer la rapidité de convergence de ces algorithmes. En pratique, il convient aussi de comparer la performance de ces algorithmes, qui mesure le temps total (et donc le coût) nécessaire au calcul. Il peut en effet arriver qu'un algorithme soit très rapidement convergent, mais que chaque pas nécessite des calculs fort longs. 5, record 2, French, - analyse%20num%C3%A9rique
