Engineers and applied physicists never stopped using the concept of an
infinitesimal so they should be happy to know that it isn't bad mathematics
after all.

I was referring to the mathematical analysis of bulk matter rather than any
sort of underlying particle theory of matter.
If matter is composed of point particles separated by some distance, then
each point particle could have a finite mass connected to it.

point-particle theory is Boscovich's theory and educators don't teach it any
more to physics students; only a few physicists know about it because now an

Particle physics has originally been based on the rigid mass operator.
Unkluckily only a few physicists understand master level rotating mass
mechanics as this is a field used/covered by mechanical engineering.
Why physics did use the fringe Virial approach (square integrable
functions..) is a
I am not sure if this is related but I always had a problem with the
concept of a point mass or a point charge, since mathematically that would
imply infinite mass density or charge density or alternatively zero mass
and zero charge. However these conundrums are resolved mathematically by
moving fr
