Dear All,
In the Shamos's catalog of the real numbers (Ed 2011), 2nd line on the top of page 301, there is this symbol: ≺ which is unknown to me.
Whereas the first and the third formulas give 1.2360679774997... the 2nd one just on the right of the symbol does not.
What is the meaning of this symbol ?

Many thanks in advance for your help.
C. Dequatre.
