	Encyclopedia topic: Numerical stability (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		One of the common tasks of numerical analysis (additional info and facts about numerical analysis) is to try to select algorithms which are robust -- that is to say, have good numerical stability in a wide range of situations.
		Numerical diffusion is a mathematical term which insures that roundoff and other errors in the calculation get spread out and do not add up to cause the calculation to "blow up".
		Numerical stability is the reason why you usually can't test a numerical code such as a climate simulation by running it backward.

		This requires the algorithm to be numerically stable, as explained in the next section.
		Numerical integration, also known as numerical quadrature, asks for the value of a definite integral.
		Numerical analysis is also concerned with computing (in an approximate way) the solution of differential equations, both ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations.
