  1. Difference between "≈", "≃", and "≅" - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    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 Operators B...

  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 small. One can …

  3. 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 sense that you …

  4. exponential function - Feynman's Trick for Approximating $e^x ...

    Jul 7, 2017 · And he could approximate small values by performing some mental math to get an accurate approximation to three decimal places. For example, approximating $e^ {3.3}$, we …

  5. real analysis - How to approximate $e^ {-x}$ when $x$ is large ...

    Jan 1, 2023 · How to approximate $e^ {-x}$ when $x$ is large Ask Question Asked 2 years, 11 months ago Modified 2 years, 11 months ago

  6. When should we write $\approx$ (approximately symbol)?

    Perhaps the correct option (and the one I am currently using) is $ (3)$ because of the transitivity of the symbols of equality $=$ and approximately $\approx$.

  7. 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 am a …

  8. 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 location of …

  9. Approximate functional equation for the Riemann zeta function

    Dec 12, 2018 · Approximate functional equation for the Riemann zeta function Ask Question Asked 7 years ago Modified 7 years ago

  10. Is there a "greater than about" symbol? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Aug 12, 2015 · 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. Is there a …
