Approximation

$a \approx b$

An approximation is an estimate of a quantity.

It is usually the case that there exists some knowledge about the accuracy of the estimate.

The notation:

$a \approx b$

indicates that $b$ is an approximation to $a$.


The $\LaTeX$ code for \(a \approx b\) is a \approx b .
