Absolute value
In mathematics, the absolute value or modulus of a real number is the non-negative value of without regard to its sign.
New!!: Approximation error and Absolute value · See more »
Accepted and experimental value
In science, and most specifically chemistry, the accepted value denotes a value of a substance accepted by almost all scientists and the experimental value denotes the value of a substance's properties found in a localized lab.
New!!: Approximation error and Accepted and experimental value · See more »
Algorithm
In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is an unambiguous specification of how to solve a class of problems.
New!!: Approximation error and Algorithm · See more »
Celsius
The Celsius scale, previously known as the centigrade scale, is a temperature scale used by the International System of Units (SI).
New!!: Approximation error and Celsius · See more »
Data
Data is a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables.
New!!: Approximation error and Data · See more »
Errors and residuals
In statistics and optimization, errors and residuals are two closely related and easily confused measures of the deviation of an observed value of an element of a statistical sample from its "theoretical value".
New!!: Approximation error and Errors and residuals · See more »
Euclidean vector
In mathematics, physics, and engineering, a Euclidean vector (sometimes called a geometric or spatial vector, or—as here—simply a vector) is a geometric object that has magnitude (or length) and direction.
New!!: Approximation error and Euclidean vector · See more »
Experimental uncertainty analysis
Experimental uncertainty analysis is a technique that analyses a derived quantity, based on the uncertainties in the experimentally measured quantities that are used in some form of mathematical relationship ("model") to calculate that derived quantity.
New!!: Approximation error and Experimental uncertainty analysis · See more »
Kelvin
The Kelvin scale is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale using as its null point absolute zero, the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases in the classical description of thermodynamics.
New!!: Approximation error and Kelvin · See more »
Machine epsilon
Machine epsilon gives an upper bound on the relative error due to rounding in floating point arithmetic.
New!!: Approximation error and Machine epsilon · See more »
Magnitude (mathematics)
In mathematics, magnitude is the size of a mathematical object, a property which determines whether the object is larger or smaller than other objects of the same kind.
New!!: Approximation error and Magnitude (mathematics) · See more »
Mathematics
Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, "knowledge, study, learning") is the study of such topics as quantity, structure, space, and change.
New!!: Approximation error and Mathematics · See more »
Measurement
Measurement is the assignment of a number to a characteristic of an object or event, which can be compared with other objects or events.
New!!: Approximation error and Measurement · See more »
Measurement uncertainty
In metrology, measurement uncertainty is a non-negative parameter characterizing the dispersion of the values attributed to a measured quantity.
New!!: Approximation error and Measurement uncertainty · See more »
Norm (mathematics)
In linear algebra, functional analysis, and related areas of mathematics, a norm is a function that assigns a strictly positive length or size to each vector in a vector space—save for the zero vector, which is assigned a length of zero.
New!!: Approximation error and Norm (mathematics) · See more »
Numerical analysis
Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms that use numerical approximation (as opposed to general symbolic manipulations) for the problems of mathematical analysis (as distinguished from discrete mathematics).
New!!: Approximation error and Numerical analysis · See more »
Numerical stability
In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, numerical stability is a generally desirable property of numerical algorithms.
New!!: Approximation error and Numerical stability · See more »
Observational error
Observational error (or measurement error) is the difference between a measured value of a quantity and its true value.
New!!: Approximation error and Observational error · See more »
Pi
The number is a mathematical constant.
New!!: Approximation error and Pi · See more »
Propagation of uncertainty
In statistics, propagation of uncertainty (or propagation of error) is the effect of variables' uncertainties (or errors, more specifically random errors) on the uncertainty of a function based on them.
New!!: Approximation error and Propagation of uncertainty · See more »
Quantization (signal processing)
Quantization, in mathematics and digital signal processing, is the process of mapping input values from a large set (often a continuous set) to output values in a (countable) smaller set.
New!!: Approximation error and Quantization (signal processing) · See more »
Relative change and difference
In any quantitative science, the terms relative change and relative difference are used to compare two quantities while taking into account the "sizes" of the things being compared.
New!!: Approximation error and Relative change and difference · See more »
Round-off error
A round-off error, also called rounding error, is the difference between the calculated approximation of a number and its exact mathematical value due to rounding.

Temperature
Temperature is a physical quantity expressing hot and cold.
New!!: Approximation error and Temperature · See more »
Uncertainty
Uncertainty has been called "an unintelligible expression without a straightforward description".
