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

    The symbol ≅ is used for isomorphism of objects of a category, and in particular for isomorphism of categories (which are objects of CAT). The symbol ≃ is used for equivalence of categories. …

  2. View question - ≈ vs. ~ --- Which symbol is more correct to use?

    Feb 14, 2017 · Another approximation symbol is the double-tilde ≈, meaning "approximately equal to", [5] [7] [8] the critical difference being the subjective level of accuracy: ≈ indicates a value …

  3. Approximation vs. Interpolation - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    May 24, 2011 · Sorry if this is a silly question, i'm just getting back into math after a long time away. My question is regarding approximation and interpolation. In which cases is it …

  4. Why do we use big Oh in taylor series? - Mathematics Stack …

    The notion of Big O, here, is to give an approximation/upper bound in the neighborhood of the value. It means that if you have a numerical approximation in a small neighborhood of x then …

  5. Math symbol for approximation of probability distribution by …

    Approximation is precisely what you are doing, after all. If they were exact in meaning and measure we would not use the approximation symbol but the equality symbol.

  6. sequences and series - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Mar 11, 2017 · @LeGrandDODOM, The term "asymptotic expansion" refers to an infinite series, not an approximation with a finite number of terms like the ones in this question. Using the …
