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.
Can you give some context so we can tell what x and p are in this example? Where did you get this relation from?
