Abstract
The reader who has looked at many economics books containing much mathematics will almost certainly have come across dx and dy used by themselves, and may possibly have been puzzled by this usage, especially after reading Chapter IX in which it is stressed that, as there defined, dx and dy have no separate existence. This chapter indicates the solution to this apparent difference of opinion.
