Numerical Methods already made it pointless for me to learn how to solve different kinds of integrals.
I don't need to master any of the dozens symbolic integration techniques.
I am not sacred of any equation looking too complex to solve.
I just write less than 30 lines of python and have the solution to the problem via numerical methods.
At the end of the day what I care about is that answers, not symbolic techniques.
- Tainnor 2y agoIf you use numerical methods routinely, you need to know about error propagation too, otherwise you may get results that are completely wrong. That's theory too, although of a different kind than the typical symbolic calculus.
