Word: epsilontic Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From the fact that ε is the usual symbol used to denote an error bound. 1. Pertaining to mathematical analysis using explicit error bound estimation and the epsilon-delta definition of a limit, especially as opposed to using infinitesimals. Example: The question is of a technical, gymnastic kind, and von Neumann's positive answer [4] uses the set-theoretic and epsilontic trickery appropriate to this domain. Example: 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.

Word: epsilontics Part of Speech: noun 1. 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. Labels: plural, plural-only Example: 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. Example: 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. 2. An instance of reasoning performed using this approach. Labels: plural, plural-only Example: Key abstract theorems are explained largely by physical reasoning, and are presented in the most concrete, intelligible fashion possible. Epsilontics are minimized. Example: 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.
