re: "To a physicist, it's a delta."

Also to some mathematicians that is true. I count myself as a phuzzicyst having "won" my PHud. in 1974 (WASH YOU, SAN LOUIE).

I seem to recall that Newton (not the fig variety) employed them when he derived a good deal of what was to become differential (deltas were the differentials) calculus.
