finitesimal

== English == === Adjective === finitesimal (not comparable) (mathematics) Not infinitesimal. 1894, Henry John Stephen Smith, James Whitbread Lee Glaisher, The Collected Mathematical Papers of Henry John Stephen Smith (page 210) We suppose, however, that we consider only such different arrangements of the terms of a series as are compatible with the condition that any term which occupies a finitesimal place in any one arrangement should occupy a finitesimal place in every other arrangement.
