But numerical analysis has done much more than this. Trefethen egoalistodevisealgorithmsthatgivequickandaccurateanswerstomathematicalproblems for scientists and engineers, nowadays using computers. Alternatively, interpretation of errors in second language learning along the lines of errors in first language learning suggests that second language errors are not, by nature, different from those made by children learning english as a mother tongue, hence they should not be of undue concern to language teachers. But analysis later developed conceptual nonnumerical paradigms, and it became useful to specify the di. The dominating factor was overgeneralization that consisted of 50% of all errors followed by transfer errors with 40% of all errors.
