epsilon


[see delta]


1. n. A small quantity of anything. "The cost is epsilon."


2. adj. Very small, negligible; less than marginal. "We can get
this feature for epsilon cost."


3. within epsilon of: close enough to be indistinguishable for all
practical purposes, even closer than being within delta of. "That's
not what I asked for, but it's within epsilon of what I wanted."
Alternatively, it may mean not close enough, but very little is
required to get it there: "My program is within epsilon of working."
