For two real numbers, n and m:
If one says n is "much larger" than m, what does it mean?
In engineering, it generally means that n is at least ten times as
large as m.
Does it mean n + (or -) m goes to n?
Since n and m are specific values, neither of them goes anywher.
Is "much larger" a formal term for mathematicians?
No.
