In [[engineering]] and [[science]], an '''approximate inequality''' is a relation that makes an [[Approximation|approximate]] [[Equality (mathematics)|non-equal]] comparison between two values:<ref name="Polyanin006">{{cite book | last=Polyanin | first=A.D. | last2=Manzhirov | first2=A.V. | title=Handbook of Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists | publisher=CRC Press | year=2006 | isbn=978-1-4200-1051-0 | url=https://books.google.com.br/books?id=ge6nk9W0BCcC&pg=PR29 | access-date=2021-11-19 | page=29}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MuchGreater.html|title=Much Greater|last=Weisstein|first=Eric W.|website=mathworld.wolfram.com|language=en|access-date=2019-12-03}}</ref> |

Relations, such as "less-than or approximate", may also be defined. |
