| "If a nonnegative quantity was so small that it is smaller than any
given one, then it certainly could not be anything but zero. To those who
ask what the infinitely small quantity in mathematics is, we answer that
it is actually zero. Hence there are not so many mysteries hidden in this
concept as they are usually believed to be. These supposed mysteries have
rendered the calculus of the infinitely small quite suspect to many
people. Those doubts that remain we shall thoroughly remove in the
following pages, where we shall explain this calculus." | |
