Most mathematical models of real systems cannot be solved analytically and the solution of these models must be approximated by numerical algorithms. The efficiency, accuracy and reliability of numerical algorithms for several classes of models will be considered. In particular, models involving least squares, non-linear equations, optimization, quadrature, and systems of ordinary differential equations will be studied.
