Methods of successive approximation
 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into Iterative method. (Discuss) Proposed since December 2023. |
Mathematical methods relating to successive approximation include the following:
- Babylonian method, for finding square roots of numbers[1]
- Fixed-point iteration[2]
- Means of finding zeros of functions:
- Differential-equation matters:
- Picard–Lindelöf theorem, on existence of solutions of differential equations
- Runge–Kutta methods, for numerical solution of differential equations
