  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 …

  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 …

  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 …

  4. Is there a "greater than about" symbol? - Mathematics Stack …

    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. …

  5. Approximating square roots using binomial expansion.

    9 We want to (manually) approximate 2–√ 2 by using the first few terms of the binomial series expansion of

  6. Approximating the error function erf by analytical functions

    Aug 15, 2016 · A logistic distribution F -- which can be expressed as a rescaled hyperbolic tangent -- can closely approximate the normal distribution function Φ. Likewise, its inverse …

  7. Prove that the approximate point spectrum is a subset of the …

    Approximate eigenvalues are those for which T − λI T λ I is not bounded from below, i.e there is no c> 0 c> 0 such that ∥Tx∥ ≥ c∥x∥ ‖ T x ‖ ≥ c ‖ x ‖ for all x. x A continuous linear operator is …

  8. Approximation of square roots - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Recently, I've seen a YouTube video where they approximate square roots real quick. They use this approximation : √x ≈ ⌊√x⌋ + x − (⌊√x⌋)2 2⌊√x⌋ I want to know the math behind this …

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

    Jul 7, 2017 · Feynman knew how to approximate ex e x for small values of x x by noting the fact that

  10. approximating an $ L^1 - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jun 13, 2016 · The fact that there are several variables is irrelevant, abstract that away by thinking of a measure on RN R N instead. That said, yes, this is a standard result given in any …
