jargon A quantity even smaller than
epsilon, as small in
comparison to epsilon as epsilon is to something normal;
completely negligible. If you buy a supercomputer for a
million dollars, the cost of the thousand-dollar terminal to
go with it is
epsilon, and the cost of the ten-dollar cable
to connect them is epsilon squared.
