Theorem of the day from Robin Whitty

A quotation for today

George Berkeley (1685 - 1753)

And what are these fluxions? The velocities of evanescent increments? They are neither finite quantities, nor quantities infinitely small, nor yet nothing. May we not call them ghosts of departed quantities?

The Analyst
