M & D Deep Duck and deeper Dog.

[Ray Easton]

The "delta" is used (not alluded to) in the text as a part of an 
(elementary) Calculus expression.  This looks like a joke that I am 
apparently too dense to get.  (I can't "compute" the value of this integral!)

Could TRP also be alluding to some other use of "delta"?  I suppose so, 
though I see no reason to think he is.
