It's about conventions. As ##n## is an integer, ##z## a complex number, ##p## a prime, ##i,j,k## indices or ##A_{ji}## a transposed matrix so is ##ε## in calculus the byword of something arbitrary small, but positive. Uncounted definitions and proofs about convergence, differentiation or continuity start with an ##ε > 0##.
OK. You had to be there.

Yep but until they find it we are good. No rabbits and no space ships.
Actually space ships would be easier to explain, they came, didn't fancy it so went back.
Rabbits a little harder.

Huh? No rabbits? :oldconfused:

I know rabbits are hard to keep out and, apparently, the Great Wall of China was built by Emperor Nasi Goreng to "keep out the rabbits", but I'm not sure that applies here. (?)

Actually not a joke, this is what google really gives when you type: "integral of exp(-x^2)".
