Order of approximation

In science, engineering, and other quantitative disciplines, order of approximation refers to formal or informal expressions for how accurate an approximation is in terms of the number of parameters used to construct the approximation. This article focuses on the approximation of smooth real-valued functions of one variable – the notion extends to functions between other spaces, such as between Euclidean spaces of varying dimension.
