  • The world has finite precision. dx isn’t a limit towards zero, it is a limit towards the smallest numerical non-zero. For physics, that’s Planck, for engineers it’s the least significant bit/figure. All of calculus can be generalized to arbitrary precision, and it’s called discrete math. So not even mathematicians agree on this topic.
