Abstract
Small oscillations evolved a great deal from Klein to Robinson. We propose a concept of solution of differential equation based on Euler’s method with infinitesimal mesh, with well-posedness based on a relation of adequality following Fermat and Leibniz. The result is that the period of infinitesimal oscillations is independent of their amplitude.
