Thanks; that makes the concept much clearer. When I first took calculus 30 years ago, the class was not taught with infinitesimals; in fact, they weren't even mentioned.
Maybe not exactly in this form, on usually talks about Leibniz's differentials dx or whatever you want to call them. You must have used the Leibniz calculus df/dx and all that in differentiation and integration, right?
