Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

absolute error

The plain, un-scaled gap between an exact value and an approximation to it.

The absolute error of an approximation $\tilde{x}$ to an exact value $x$ is $|x-\tilde{x}|$ .

Examples

The absolute error of 3.14 as an approximation to $\pi$ is about 0.0016.
