This paper is concerned with an attempt to improve the accuracy of certain asymptotic approximations. The basic idea is simply to redefine the large parameter in a particular way. This idea is applied to four examples, including a Laplace integral, the gamma function, and an integral which can be treated by Erdélyi's method. In all cases there is a substantial improvement in accuracy.
