Epsilon
  • [see delta] n. A small quantity of anything. "The cost is epsilon. "
  • adj. Very small, negligible; less than marginal. "We can get this feature for epsilon cost. "
  • `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. "
