CS majors know this topic as Numeric Analysis, and it has turned more than one aspiring computer scientist toward another field of study. I recall my professor freely borrowing letters from no fewer than four alphabets--Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and Cyrillic--to fully expound on the topic. Taking notes was a royal PITA; deciphering them was even worse.
The second time we took the course (two out of tree dropped or failed it), the instructor (a different one) stuck to Latin and Greek letters, but the subject matter was still a bitch.
