A truncation error is an error associated with limitations in the construction of approximations.
This may arise by:
- the use of an approximation rule
- terminating an iterative method before it has converged
- approximating a derivative by a difference
- taking a finite number of terms of a power series expansion, for example a Taylor series
- and so on.
It can also arise through truncation of a number.
