re: Thoughts of P | Comment 40 of 45 |
(In reply to by )

P, yeah its like delta but I dont think it is the same because.. lots of intervals of delta eventually add up to some amount where as if you were to try and use P to do calculus u would never get anywhere because P is trulio infinitesimal. P is the actual infinitesimal quantity that you can do algebra with. For example I think for any possitive number x, xp=p, like 7p=p, cos it is still going to be infinitesimal.
