Kineth 02/14/18 8:06:58 AM #2:	Delta refers to the change in something. Epsilon is just another way of notating an equation that would go on forever. By being able to input a number in the epsilon equation, you can get the values at 2 points and work backwards from there for specific integrals and derivatives that aren't based on starting at 0 or doing the limit all the way to infinity. Oh yeah, epsilon represents a sum and not simply just the equation. --- If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me.
