I have read the thread regarding 'the difference between the operators δ and d', but it does not answer my question.
I am confused about the notation for change in Physics. In Mathematics, δ and Δ essentially refer to the same thing, i.e., change. This means that Δx=x1−x2=δx. The difference between δ and d is also clear and distinct in differential calculus. We know that dydx is always an operator and not a fraction, whereas δyδx is an infinitesimal change.
In Physics, however, the distinction is not as clear. Can anyone offer a clearer picture?
