Lol I had this textbook. Frankly its a pretty sensical passage. Its Statistical Thermodynamics and often calculating the number of states a system can have becomes ENORMOUS so simplifying approximations such as these become helpful.

Showing that on some scales certain operations are irrelevant and can be neglected. Very useful when making simplifying approximations

I'm confused on "you can add a small number to a large number without changing it"
so if 10^24 + 23 = 10^24, wouldn't thus mean that 10^24 + 23 + 23 + 23 +....+23 where number оf terms tends to infinity still equals 10^24?

does adding a thousand grains of sand to a beach make it any bigger when you measure it in kilometers?
it makes sense

this is pretty important to know for what the rest of that section likely talks about, so yeah, there's nothing wrong

I prefer when they use a different symbol than = to remind you that it’s not actually equal, just very very close
