3 .
A small quantity ,
but not as small as {
epsilon }.
The
jargon usage of {
delta }
and {
epsilon }
stems from the
traditional use of these letters in mathematics for very small
numerical quantities ,
particularly in "
epsilon -
delta "
proofs
in limit theory (
as in the differential calculus ).
The term
{
delta }
is often used ,
once {
epsilon }
has been mentioned ,
to
mean a quantity that is slightly bigger than {
epsilon }
but
still very small . "
The cost isn '
t epsilon ,
but it '
s delta "
means that the cost isn '
t totally negligible ,
but it is
nevertheless very small .
Common constructions include "
within
delta of ---", "
within epsilon of ---":
that is , "
close to "
and "
even closer to ".
