In mathematics, approximation theory is concerned with how functions can best be approximated with simpler functions, and with quantitatively characterizing the errors introduced thereby. Note that what is meant by best and simpler will depend on the application. A closely related topic is the approximation of functions by generalized Fourier series, that is, approximations based upon summation of a series of terms based upon orthogonal polynomials.

Approximation and Errors
Suppose a numerical value v is first approximated as x, and then is subsequently approximated by y. Then the approximate error, denoted Ea, in approximating v as y is defined as Ea = x − y. Similarly, the relative approximate error, denoted ϵa, is defined as ϵa = (x − y)/x = 1 − y/x. Example 5.
