Is there a "greater than about" symbol?
To indicate approximate equality, one can use ≃, ≅, ~, ♎, or ≒. I need to indicate an approximate inequality. Specifically, I know A is greater than a quantity of approximately B.
Use of approximation sign
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
How to approximate $sin x$ without using trigonometry tables?
An Opening Note : First of all, I want to make this very clear that by the phrase "without using trigonometry tables", I mean without using them to find $sin$ values of the "non-standard
What is the approximate identity?
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
notation
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

What exactly is "approximation"?
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
Difference between "≈", "≃", and "≅"

How to derive a function to approximate $sqrt {3}$?
Basically, to approximate the location of a root of a function, we approximate the function locally by its tangent, find the tangents root instead, and that value is a decent approximation for the
