What is the theory of finite differential method?
Finite Differential Methods (FDM) are numerical methods for approximating the solutions to differential equations using finite difference equations to approximate derivatives.
What are the steps on solving equations?
The answer will depend very much on the nature of the equation. The steps required for a one-step equation are very different from the steps required for a partial differential equation. For some equations there are no straightforward analytical methods of solution: only numerical methods.
What is numerical solutions of nonlinear equations?
Linear equations, if they have a solution, can be solved analytically. On the other hand, it may not always be possible to find a solution to nonlinear equations. This is where you use various numerical methods (eg Newton-Raphson) to work from one approximate numerical solution to a better solution. This iterative procedure, if properly applied, gives accurate numerical solutions to nonlinear equations. But as mentioned above, they are not arrived at analytically.
What is the difference between numerical analysis and numerical methods?
Short answer; there isn't any.Long/picky answer; numerical methods tend to look at, surprisingly, numerical methods on solving certain problems such as finding answers to equations (finding fixed points), calculating errors and really just doing calculations using these methods.Numerical analysis on the other hand, does all of this but also looks deeper into why error occurs from these methods and looks into ways of adjusting these methods or developing better ones that reduce the errors given so as to obtain much more accurate approximations to the solution you are trying to find for a given problem.
What are the applications of numerical method?
Numerical methods are used to find solutions to problems when purely analytical methods fail.

What are the applications of runge kutta method?
The Runge-Kutta method is one of several numerical methods of solving differential equations. Some systems motion or process may be governed by differential equations which are difficult to impossible to solve with emperical methods. This is where numerical methods allow us to predict the motion, without having to solve the actual equation.
