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}.
