    Can I get a citation on this? Because it doesn’t pass the sniff test for me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximation

      Sure! See ISO-80000-2

      Here’s a link: https://cdn.standards.iteh.ai/samples/64973/329519100abd447ea0d49747258d1094/ISO-80000-2-2019.pdf

        ISO is not a source for mathematical definitions

          It’s a definition from a well-respected global standards organization. Can you name a source that would provide a more authoritative definition than the ISO?

          There’s no universally correct definition for what the ≈ symbol means, and if you write a paper or a proof or whatever, you’re welcome to define it to mean whatever you want in that context, but citing a professional standards organization seems like a pretty reliable way to find a commonly-accepted and understood definition.

            Tbh I’m just impressed you:

            A) knew there was an iso standard

            1. went to the effort of locating it

            iii) posted it in respectful manner, and

            e) are correct.
