linear algebra - Approximately known matrix

What linear algebraic quantities can be calculated precisely for a nonsingular matrix whose entries are only approximately known (say, entries in the matrix are all huge numbers, known up to an accuracy of plus or minus some small number)? Clearly not the determinant or the trace, but probably the signature, and maybe some sort of twisted signatures? What is a reference for this sort of stuff? (numerical linear algebra, my guess for the name of such a field, seems to mean something else).
