Approximate differentiability
Here is an interesting question on mathoverflow about approximate differentiability of a function. I use to think those two definitions are equivalent.
Definition: Let $f:E\to\mathbb{R}$ be a measurable function defined on a measurable set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$. We say that $f$ is approximately differentiable at $x\in E$ if there is a linear function $L:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ such that for any $\varepsilon>0$ the set $$ \{ y\in E:\, \frac{|f(y)-f(x)-L(y-x)|}{|y-x|} <\varepsilon \} $$ has $x$ as a density point.
Then this is the same as
A measurable function $f:E\to\mathbb{R}$ defined in a measurable set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ is approximately differentiable at $x\in E$ if and only if there is a measurable set $E_x\subset E$ and a linear function $L:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ such that $x$ is a density point of $E_x$ and $$ \lim_{E_x\ni y\to x} \frac{|f(y)-f(x)-L(y-x)|}{|y-x|} = 0. $$
