Ever been bullied by a mathematical symbol? That cute doggo in the hat is getting roasted by epsilon, the symbol mathematicians use when they need something juuuust barely greater than zero. In calculus and analysis, epsilon represents an arbitrarily small positive quantity—basically the mathematical way of saying "I'm technically bigger than you, and I'll never let you forget it." Poor pup is experiencing what every freshman feels during their first proof about limits. Size isn't everything... unless you're discussing convergence theorems!
