Loosely speaking, a residual is the error in a result. To be precise, suppose we want to find x such that Given an approximation x0 of x, the residual is that is, "what is left of the right hand side" after subtracting f(x0)" (thus, the name "residual": what is left, the rest). On the other hand, the error is...
