If a nonnegative quantity was so small that it is smaller than any given one, then it certainly could not be anything but zero. To those who ask what the infinitely small quantity in mathematics is, we answer that it is actually zero. Hence there are not so many mysteries hidden in this concept as they are usually believed to be. These supposed mysteries have rendered the calculus of the infinitely small quite suspect to many people. Those doubts that remain we shall thoroughly remove in the following pages, where we shall explain this calculus. Leonhard Paul Euler		Monday Apr 28, 2025

Other J.M. Maciejowski Quotes
Our guiding idea has been, other things being equal, complexity in a model indicates vacuousness rather than sophistication. Popper associates 'simplicity' with 'paucity of parameters', whereas we have a rather more general concept of simplicity paucity of terms in the model.
