Let the local temperature change of a moving baloon be
δT=∂x∂Tδx+∂t∂Tδt
The use of the delta-symbol implies the idea of an increment and the partial derivative is defined as a limit.
My question is: How can I think of 'the size' of (f.e.) $\partial\,t$ relative to $\delta\,T$?
Can they be compared or is this not possible from a more formal point of view?
Is the delta-symbol used as a symbol for an arbitrary increment?
I apologize if I fail to express myself correctly.
