Why does adding two or more infinitesimals equal an infinitesimal? What would happen if one added an infinite number of infinitesimals together? How about multiplying an infinitesimal against any non-infinitesimal? How about multiplying an infinitesimal by infinity? Finally, consider the following:
dx = cos (theta) (dp)
Are 'dx' and 'dp' infinitesimals? Trying to broaden my understanding of tensor calculus.
dx = cos (theta) (dp)
Are 'dx' and 'dp' infinitesimals? Trying to broaden my understanding of tensor calculus.
