From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
epsilon   [see {delta}] 1. n. A small quantity of anything.    "The cost is epsilon."   2. adj. Very small, negligible; less than    {marginal}.   "We can get this feature for epsilon cost."   3. `within    epsilon of': close enough to be indistinguishable for all practical    purposes, even closer than being `within delta of'.   "That's not    what I asked for, but it's within epsilon of what I wanted."    Alternatively, it may mean not close enough, but very little is    required to get it there: "My program is within epsilon of working."
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
epsilon squared n.   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.   Compare {lost in the underflow}, {lost in the    noise}.
