I just started a numerical analysis class and I'm curious: what are the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods? Do we use numerical methods in situations where getting analytical solutions is possible? If so, why? I just want a better understanding of when each method is used in practice. I also don't know too much physics, so I don't know how often equations come up where no analytical solutions exist.
