"Small, Minuscule: Tiny, Minuscule"
Vocabulary
- tiny: “very small”, referring to quantities or sizes in a mathematical context rather than colloquially.
- minuscule: “very small”, a more sophisticated expression.
Examples
tiny
“However, detecting tiny objects (for example tiny persons less than 20 pixels) in large-scale images remains not well investigated.” 1
minuscule
“In many cases, we may need to normalize the columns of $\Theta (X)$ first to ensure that the restricted isometry property holds; this is especially important when the entries in $X$ are small, since powers of $X$ will be minuscule.” 2
