epsilon squared

epsilon squared n.  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}.
