    The author shows that a polygonal approximation to an invariant curve \(\gamma\) of a homeomorphism \(\Phi\) from the circle onto itself is also a homeomorphism. On this basis, an approximate rotation number is defined and the error of the approximate rotation number is discussed. The paper presents some algorithms for the computation of the approximation of a rotation number for an explicitly given circle map. Computational results for the delayed logistic map are presented.
