  2. notation - Backwards epsilon - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    The backwards epsilon notation for "such that" was introduced by Peano in 1898, e.g. from Jeff Miller's Earliest Uses of Various Mathematical Symbols: Such that.

  3. analysis - What does "$\epsilon$" mean in this formula - Mathematics ...

    Apr 19, 2022 · The symbol is called "epsilon," and is simply a variable, just like x x or y y. However, note that ϵ ϵ is most commonly used in analysis as an arbitrarily small (but positive) value. If you are new …

  4. Good Explanation of Epsilon-Delta Definition of a Limit?

    Nov 18, 2021 · I'm really doing my best but completely failing to understand the epsilon-delta definition of a limit. I vaguely understand it like this: Given a bound on the difference between the input and …

  5. notation - How to denote a very small number $\epsilon

    Nov 3, 2016 · I'm adding a small number $\\epsilon$ to a denominator for numerical stability. Is it correct to introduce it as $\\epsilon \\ll 1$? In fact, it should be close to zero, not just (much) smaller than 1...
