Sasha Ramani's definitions

epsilon

1) A really really small positive number (i.e. 0.00000001)
2) The fifth letter of the greek alphabet
3) What mathematicians such as Paul Erdos call little kids; a beautiful use of definition #1

"That's a cute epsilon! Is it a boss or a slave?" - Paul Erdos, Hungarian mathematician (obtained from 'The Man who loved Only Numbers')
