    In mathematical notation, what are the usage differences between the various approximately-equal signs "≈", "≃", and "≅"? The Unicode standard lists all of them inside the Mathematical …

  2. What exactly is "approximation"? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    One can, for example, approximate continuous functions with polynomial functions, in which case the idea is to keep the area between the original function and the approximating function …

  3. notation - Different use of approximate equality symbols

    Apr 12, 2016 · I have been wondering for a long time whether there is a unequivocal way to define and use the symbols commonly adopted for an approximate equality between two quantities. I …

  4. Use of approximation sign - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Aug 2, 2017 · The "and" is a pointer that (a) first we approximate and (b) then we compute exactly. The final result is an approximation only because of (a). Related to this, it is useful to …

  5. Approximation of numbers: Am I using ~ correctly?

    Aug 16, 2017 · Let's say a number 998. I might approximate using the following ~1k. 1k is not definite number but it's more or less very close. Is this the correct way of using ~? I noticed …

  6. What is the approximate identity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Feb 25, 2017 · An approximate identity (in the sense that you've described) is a sequence of operators, usually derived from some "nice" class, that converge to the identity operator in the …
