Meanings
- Error (mathematics) (statistics): the difference between an estimated value and the true value in statistical analysis
- Error (mathematics) (numerical analysis): the difference between an approximate value and the exact value in numerical computations
- Error (mathematics) (proof theory): a flaw in a mathematical proof that renders it invalid
