Feb 28, 2019 at 13:49 comment added knzhou Coming in as a Physics.SE regular via the HNQ list -- it sounds rather strange to call this a consequence of "lack of mathematical rigor". It just seems to be a subtle feature of equations that have could have been written in terms of standard calculus 200 years ago, and still are. We physicists discover these all the time, and not by messing with epsilons and deltas.
