This paragraph has to be re-written by a specialist. This excerpt gives a false impression that the concept of the condition number revolves around the concept of derivative. Although there is an obvious connection between the two, neither is generalisation or the consequence of the other. I placed ,

frequently applied to questions in linear algebra, in which case the derivative is straightforward but the error could be in many different directions, and is thus computed from the geometry of the matrix. More generally, condition numbers can be defined for non-linear functions in several variables.

The phrase 'ill-conditioned' redirects here. I'm willing to wager that nearly anyone looking up 'ill-conditioned' is eager to find strategies for solving problems that have ill-conditioned matrices. I do not see anything useful presented here in that regard. I recommend that either (1) strategies for

The error in the approximate solution is no greater than the (condition number) x (relative error in the initial solution). If the new approximate solution is not within the desired precision of the actual solution, then the system would be "ill-conditioned." Also, to obtain a higher precision in an

I think it would be very helpful for more general readers if the introduction (in particular the first paragraph---currently 2 sentences) mentioned that the condition number is generally used to evaluate how large the error/uncertainty of a function will be, given a certain error/uncertainty in the

I'm trying to show that in a bunch of cases (200 or so) two 2D vectors are "approximately" multiples of one another. So I make a 2x2 matrix out of these two vectors, and I find the condition number. On average the condition number is around 2e6, and the minimum is 9e4. Does this make the vectors
1727:
The condition number is an application of the derivative, and is formally defined as the value of the asymptotic worst-case relative change in output for a relative change in input. The "function" is the solution of a problem and the "arguments" are the data in the problem. The condition number is
381:"wheras a large condition number will enhance error in b." I think this is confusing because we are talking about the bad conditioning increasing the amount of error in the calculated x due do a small error in b (and not really doing anything to b). 448:
If you use exact arithmetic (infinite precision), and an iterative method to compute an approximation to your solution (whose rate of convergence degrades with increasing condition number), then the condition number is of great relevance.

I think it would be useful in the introduction to mention the condition number rule of thumb. It was mentioned to me in a Numerical Analysis class, and found that it cleared up some questions I had. The rule of thumb is if

It depends on how accurately you know these vectors. The amount of significant digits you lose is equal to log(condition number), so if you only have the vector components 3 digits accurate, then a condition number:
1276: 153: 337:
Can someone help me with an estimate of how big a condition number actually has to be before a matrix is considered "ill conditioned?" I'm sure it's dependent on many things but I'd like to get a grasp on it.

I agree. The next step is that you think of a better formulation and edit the article. These articles don't write themselves ;) Don't worry too much about making mistakes; they will be corrected. --

Seconded. I'm mathematically literate enough to be interested in this article, but haven't been able to guess the principles that ought to be invoked to find this maximum. GRB, 15 August 2011.
471:"if the condition number is large, even a small error in b may cause a large error in x", is it just opposite? i think a large condition number means a small error in x cause a large error in b. 438:
I am not sure if the relevance of finite/infinite precision is clear. If you have infinite precision, and do not assume any kind of errors in the input, the condition number is of no relevance.

However, in the section for condition number of a matrix it is mentioned that conditioning is a property of the matrix and not of floating point arithmetics or rounding off errors. 1816: 1695:
