epsilontics
名词 n.
英文释义
名词 n.
-
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.
— 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.
-
An instance of reasoning performed using this approach.
— Key abstract theorems are explained largely by physical reasoning, and are presented in the most concrete, intelligible fashion possible. Epsilontics are minimized.
