Root Finding vs Approximation Techniques
Developers should learn root finding when working on problems that require solving nonlinear equations, such as in physics simulations, financial modeling, or machine learning algorithms where parameter estimation is needed meets developers should learn approximation techniques when dealing with np-hard problems, large-scale data processing, or real-time systems where exact solutions are too slow or memory-intensive. Here's our take.
Root Finding
