>Also, for the record, derivatives are fractions, despite what you might have been told in calculus. They are a special case of fraction: the limiting case of fractions of differentially small changes. But they are still fractions, with all the rights and privileges thereof. All of physics treats them like fractions, multiplies and divides them like fractions, etc., because they are fractions.
Well /sci/ are derivatives really fractions?

Physicists learn calculus from Karl Marx and then wonder why their theories are full of gay singularities.

if you are careful, you can treat them more like fractions in non-standard analysis
