text: If a parameter such as x in (7.71) is continuous, there are other operations of the group 'as close as one likes' to any given operation; in 'epsilontic' language, we must be able to write T(x + ε) → T(x) as ε → 0. (7.76)
ref: 1969, J. M. Ziman, Elements of Advanced Quantum Theory, Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, page 238:
text: Weierstrass precisely defines a function in the modern sense as a correspondence between two variable quantities—a definition he attributes to Fourier, Cauchy, and Dirichlet—and develops the epsilontic method.

epsilontics
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Senses: examples: text: Now epsilontics is losing ground, and after one or two decennia we can expect the "great discovery" that, properly understood, the infinitesimal methods of a century ago are completely rigorous. Algorithms with differentials are already modern.
ref: 1973, Hans Freudenthal, Mathematics as an Educational Task, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN, page 148:
text: In principle, we should not then have made any approximation at all; it is a rule of pure mathematics, hallowed by centuries of usage, and justified by the mysteries known to undergraduates as 'epsilontics', that a convergent series is as good as a simple finite algebraic expression for a solution — which is just as well, because almost every expression that appears in any formula in physics, such as a cosine, or a logarithm, is itself only definable algebraically as the sum of an infinite series.
ref: 1981, John M. Ziman, Puzzles, Problems and Enigmas: Occasional Pieces on the Human Aspects of Science, Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, page 51:
text: Both Cauchy and Abel must have been aware that epsilontics is a general tool for making rigorous proofs in analysis, but neither of them, to say nothing of their contemporaries, used it consistently.
ref: 2009, Detlef Laugwitz, Bernhard Riemann 1826–1866: Turning Points in the Conception of Mathematics, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN, page 59:
topics: mathematics
sciences
glosses: An approach to mathematical analysis using the epsilon-delta definition of a limit, i.e. with explicit estimation of error bounds, as opposed to using infinitesimals.
examples: text: Key abstract theorems are explained largely by physical reasoning, and are presented in the most concrete, intelligible fashion possible. Epsilontics are minimized.
ref: 1973, American Mathematical Society, Notices of the American Mathematical Society:
text: One might be more precise by giving an error for equation (16.2) or by considering the much smaller errors on the exclusion of other classical properties, but these epsilontics will be omitted.
ref: 1999, Roland Omnès, Understanding Quantum Mechanics, Princeton University Press, →ISBN, page 185:
text: Thus, Hadamard avoids Weierstrassian epsilontics in his text for engineering students.
ref: 2001, Peter Schuster, Ulrich Berger, Horst Osswald, Reuniting the Antipodes - Constructive and Nonstandard Views of the Continuum, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN, page 137:
