Heuristic (eBook)

What Is Heuristic

In the fields of mathematical optimization and computer science, a heuristic is a strategy that is designed to solve a problem more rapidly in situations where traditional approaches are either too slow for finding an approximation answer or fail to find any accurate solution. In order to accomplish this, we must sacrifice optimality, completeness, accuracy, or precision in exchange for speed. It is possible to look at it as a short cut in some respects.
