In some physics textbooks (and in those of other sciences that use physics, like soil science), I've seen some derivatives written as:
$$\frac{\delta f}{\delta t} $$
Which is a bit strange. Does this notation imply anything different?

3Does this answer your question? Symbols of derivatives See also this. In general, it's "hollow words" without a precise definition. – Tobias Fünke Dec 13 '22 at 16:52

It can mean this; we'd have to see the context in which you saw it to know if that's what's meant, but my guess is it isn't. – J.G. Dec 13 '22 at 21:24
