4Diophantine approximation — In number theory, the field of Diophantine approximation, named after Diophantus of Alexandria, deals with the approximation of real numbers by rational numbers. The absolute value of the difference between the real number to be approximated and… …
5Units of Measure Directive — The Units of Measure Directive, sometimes referred to as the Metric Directive and more formally known as Council Directive 80/181/EEC of 20 December 1979 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to units of measurement and… …
6Orders of approximation — In science, engineering, and other quantitative disciplines, orders of approximation refer to formal or informal terms for how precise an approximation is, and to indicate progressively more refined approximations: in increasing order of… …
7Slow-motion approximation — In physics, the slow motion approximation is an approximation that is used in relativistic mechanics where the speed of an object under consideration is significantly less than the speed of light.The approximation is sometimes used as a… …
8Kirkwood approximation — The Kirkwood superposition approximation was introduced by Matsuda (2000) as a means of representing a discrete probability distribution. The name apparently refers to a 1942 paper by John G. Kirkwood. The Kirkwood approximation for a discrete… …
9Inner regular measure — In mathematics, an inner regular measure is one for which the measure of a set can be approximated from within by compact subsets.DefinitionLet ( X , T ) be a Hausdorff topological space and let Sigma; be a sigma; algebra on X that contains the… …
10Liouville number — In number theory, a Liouville number is a real number x with the property that, for every positive integer n, there exist integers p and q with q > 1 and such that A Liouville number can thus be approximated quite closely by a sequence of… …
