(foldoc) | EPSILON
A macro language with high level features
including strings and lists, developed by A.P. Ershov at
Novosibirsk in 1967. EPSILON was used to implement ALGOL 68
on the M-220.

epsilon

within epsilon of
1. The fifth letter of the Greek alphabet.
2. (From the Hungarian mathematician {Paul
Erdos}) A very small, insignificant, or negligible quantity of
something.
The use of epsilon is from the epsilon-delta method of
proof in differential calculus.

epsilon
(jargon) | 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.”

epsilon squared
(foldoc) | epsilon squared
A quantity even smaller than epsilon, as small in
comparison to epsilon as epsilon is to something normal;
completely negligible. If you buy a supercomputer for a
million dollars, the cost of the thousand-dollar terminal to
go with it is epsilon, and the cost of the ten-dollar cable
to connect them is epsilon squared.
Compare lost in the underflow, lost in the noise.
