| Aug 2, 2012 at 0:36 | comment | added | user21349 | I've encountered (7) as a pedagogical device intended to explain the interpretation of (1), in Keisler's excellent freshman calc text Elementary Calculus: An Approach Using Infinitesimals (freely available online). To me, (1) and (7) are not distinct. | |
