[edit] bugs me

The definition of reversibility in terms of infinitesimal changes acting over infinite time has always seemed to me something like defining 0/0. I think some mathematicians should be brought in to examine this language. In the Schaum's on thermodynamics, they put it as an "infinitesimal rate". That is not the kind of language I ever encountered in calculus, though Dirac delta functions were pretty out there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.170.68.234 (talk) 20:26, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
